I've always had a problem with one thing in therapy--- privacy.
I haven't seen my T in awhile, but I'm planning on going back in a month or so. He's always respected my privacy as much as possible, and doesn't usually take any notes while in session (who knows if he writes anything down afterwards), but he does have this standardized form he fills out primarily legal and insurance purposes (I've read some of them, which are still more than I'd like to share with the world at large). Now that I'll be paying out of pocket, he won't have to submit anything to the insurance company, which I feel better about, but still...
I'm a little freaked out by what can happen with this stuff. I'm afraid of office staff even. I was pretty used to it before, but since I've had a break of several months since I last saw him I'm on my paranoid privacy kick again.
Anyone else struggle with this issue?
How do you contend with it in a healthy way, keeping things in perspective?
