Another great question. I’ll get right to the point: yes, there are. There are actually three situations in which a therapist may need to report something that is said in session. The reason for this is, once again, to protect a client’s safety. Legally I am bound to break confidentiality if you mention… – that you want to harm yourself or someone else – that someone is abusing or neglecting a disabled person, child, or elderly Again, this is for your safety or the safety of others, which is the top priority. However, everything else is private and confidential. Promise.
