- legal constraints apply
- when a compelling need arises based on substantial probability of personal harm to the client(s) or others, or in cases of a life-threatening emergency,
- when an insurance carrier asks to review the records to verify the services billed to it have been rendered, and/or
- when the client has signed an appropriate form for the release of information"
Looks like the key part pertaining to you is what I bolded. If your T is calling your SI "."substantial probability of personal harm to the client(s)", then she looks to be within the law.
Sounds like you need to have this discussion with your T though.

Thanks for looking this up for me...I looked and couldn't find much. Yeah, I know she's the only one who can answer this question for me. The reason I haven't asked her is because I don't want her to take it the wrong way. I'm afraid of her reaction if she thinks I'm getting defensive.
