If I'm understanding correctly, you want to draw a new treatment contract? How would it differ from the old one?
Are you viewing this as punishment to you? I doubt your therapist sees it that way at all. Does she think your desire to revoke it means that you want to be free to do things you've agreed not to do?
My therapist never did require a contract, but he did say that there was something he wouldn't do if I ever killed myself. It came up fairly recently and he repeated his condition. Since I wasn't by any stretch of the imagination suicidal at the time, I thought it was a bit silly to bring that up. But I realized that it had less to do with me than it did with his own comfort.
