It's funny... My T is way more up tight about confidentiality than I am. I know that she teaches and I wouldn't care if she used me as an example but she would be apalled by the thought.
A few sessions ago I asked at the beginning of the session if I could sign releases so she can talk to all the other people I consider my "treatment team" (they are all in private practice so there is no natural treatment team in place). Winter is coming and my depression gets worse so I wanted to be ready.
I trust everyone I work with a lot or I wouldn't work with them. So... I wanted to sign a pretty open ended release for each of my providers allowing my T to discuss with them anything she needed to assist in her work with me. OMG you would think I had asked her to print a verbatim of our work together on the front page of the NY Times! She flipped out (not at me, just in a panic sort of mode... and I have NEVER seen her anything but cool and collect). We spent the majority of the session listing specifically what she could say (which I though was silly... she could hand them my file for all I care), when and how she could say it. THEN we had to work on how to word the list on the form! Ahhhh!
Thankfull all my other providers were happy with a list of names, the word "anything" in the what they can discuss section and my signature!
