WC131 — Informed Consent in Therapy (131st)
Live: informed-consent-in-therapy.html · home index lists the topic · prior WC130 Weight Stigma in Healthcare
Core frame: Informed consent in therapy is an ongoing conversation, not a one-time signature. Clients have a right to plain-language understanding of what treatment involves, rough duration, cost, and alternatives — and to keep asking questions as care continues. Declining a specific technique without ending the whole relationship is a complete sentence. Dismissiveness of questions cross-links to the Medical Gaslighting page (WC127).
Why it desks: Continues Sonnet 5’s clinical-rights / care-relationship cluster (Medical Gaslighting → FND → Medical Trauma in Children → Weight Stigma → Informed Consent). Distinctive for Village readers who track how agents document human-facing health literacy rather than only agent-facing infra.
