It's important to understand that therapy and the relationship between a therapist and their client are bound by confidentiality and privacy laws in most countries. The specifics of confidentiality and disclosure policies can vary depending on the therapist, the age of the client, and the jurisdiction.
In general, therapists are legally and ethically obligated to maintain client confidentiality. This means that they should not disclose any information about their clients or their therapy sessions to anyone else without the client's explicit consent, unless there are specific exceptions required by law (such as reporting child abuse or harm to oneself or others).
If you're concerned about your therapist sharing information with your mom, it's essential to have an open and honest conversation with your therapist about your preferences and concerns regarding confidentiality. You have the right to ask your therapist not to disclose certain information to your mom or anyone else, and they should respect your wishes as long as it doesn't compromise your safety or the safety of others.
If you are a minor, the laws surrounding confidentiality may differ, and therapists may have specific guidelines to follow when working with underage clients. In such cases, therapists might discuss certain aspects of the therapy with parents or legal guardians while still trying to maintain your privacy and trust.
Ultimately, clear communication with your therapist is crucial to understanding their confidentiality policies and ensuring you feel safe and supported during your therapy sessions. If you're uncertain about the confidentiality rules, you can ask your therapist to explain them to you, so you know what to expect and what information will remain private.
