A therapy session should be a safe space where you can say anything without fear of being judged. It goes without saying that whatever is discussed must be treated as confidential.
Often, the therapist will make notes during the session so that they can track a patient’s progress, remember key details or plan future treatment. Parts of these notes might also serve as a record for insurance purposes.
Imagine one woman’s horror when she found out that her mother had gained access to her therapy session notes, and had been secretly reading them for the past three years. The 25-year-old feels “physically sick.” Her mother says she’s overreacting.
