Childhood trauma

@SloshyFrog10527

Hello, Frog,

I like to start with what’s challenging me the most and come up with solutions. Therapists have an obligation to maintain confidentiality. 

The only exceptions to confidentiality are in cases mandated by law. These exceptions include: Imminent danger to self or others, in which case staff contact medical and/police personnel.

It’s okay to tell your story with no names. I hope your therapist makes you feel safe enough to do so.

Thank you, I wasn’t sure. But what if it’s like someone close to me. For example parents or family

@SloshyFrog10527

I believe that will depend on whether you’re an adult or a minor. 

Depending on where you live, the health care provider is not permitted to inform a parent or legal guardian without the minor’s consent. 

In my case, the therapist actually asked my mother to leave the room. 

Thank you @blitheSun94

@SloshyFrog10527 if you would like to you can message me and i can share my experience with this exact situation, myself. 

How do I start a message ?

@SloshyFrog10527 can you try to go to my profile and see if you can send me a message?

Doesn’t show up as an option

If you are a minor be awere and stay safe, could be worse, I know you are probably lookin for a validating space and a hug, but therapist have the duty to call the law if you are a minor, I know is awfull, you may feel like ther's no safe place to share, my personal advice based on my experience is that you may find other help, from people as caring as your therapist, as capable and nice but without any duty, so they could not keep you away and worst the situation, you could go in therapy later, in the major age, pls stay safe, you are valid, so do your emotion, and it's not your fault, but pls don't fall in trap!

Didn't want to scare, you should find help, and you deserve it! Just I suggest to be carefully, whish you love
