It sounds like your therapist doesn't know what it's like to be suicidal. She makes it seem like deciding not to commit suicide is analogous to deciding not to bite your nails or something. It seems like this will lead to you repressing suicidal thoughts just to please your therapist. I don't think the decision to take one's life is one made lightly; a contract may prevent you from harming yourself, but it does nothing to quell the feelings that lead to such an act. (This may not apply to your situation, but I thought I would say it anyway in the case that it might.)
