i have shared these elsewhere, so i don't mind them being here also.

my school counsellor broke confidentiality and told my parents that i was self harming, even though i was over 16 & that guarantees privacy in australia (unless you are at serious risk to self/others etc). i endured a week of bloody noses as a result.

next psychologist i bothered staying with on a long term basis knew about my severe hang up re: privacy, and spent a lot of time working on getting me to trust him. 2 years later he broke confidentiality when he thought i was at risk to self (i wasn't), and sent a crisis team to my house without forewarning. that was in december last year, and i joined PC in the aftermath of that.

for what it's worth, though, i have been seeing pdoc for 5 years now, and he's been nothing but an absolute gentleman. sometimes you find gems.
