I agree it was definately an ethics breach of your confidentiality. No therapy professional has the right to go to anyone else in their clients life without being asked and given persmission to do so to discuss that client and whether or not that client is upset by what ever that teacher, lawyer, doctor and so on is putting the client through.

Therapy professionals can consult with the parents of their minor (under age 18) clients if they feel there is a problem.

Therapy professionals can talk to the police if their client is a danger to themselves and or others.

But they are legally bound by confidentiality and ethics laws not to fight their cleints battles and or reviel any conversations that are taking place within the therapy sessions to anyone other than the mental health treatment team ie psychiatrist, therapist psychologist with in the agency where the person recieves their mental health treatment.

According to HIPPA what your therapist did is grounds for her being fired and loss of license. How do I know this because a DHS caseworker found a therapy letter in a box of things for my son. That DHS caseworker was fired and lost her social workers license for opening reading copying and distributing that letter. The civil rights office that prosecutes HIPPA was going to go after my therapist for accidentally leaving that letter in the box of things that I gave her to deliver to the DHS office. They told me the reason they were going to go after my therapist was because under HIPPA a therapist is bound by law NOT to reviel ANYTHING that goes on with in the therapy sessions without the clients signing a release of information form and that form must be updated EVERY 6 months, to remain active.

You may agree with the fact that she took what you told her during therapy and went outside of therapy to this teacher but now that she has done this and you are showing her your support for her breaching your therapy session information with another person outside of the therapy room what about situations like -

her taking something like you telling her someone hit you or whatever and she takes what you say about that abusive person to that abusive person and says pamelasu told me what you did to her bla bla bla bla..

or you telling her you are having problems with sex with your significant other and she takes what you say about that to your significant other.

These ethics laws are there for a reason not just for a therapist to use their own opinion of who they can and cant talk to about you and what situations they can talk to people about you about.

The ethics laws are there to protect the client from being in danger by the therapist revieling information to those the client is havings problems with and anyone outside ot the therapy room.

I would not be surprised if that palates teacher wants you out of the class or starts comming down on you for a therapist "tattling" on what you said during therapy and trying to fight your battles for you.

Therapists can on the other hand ask you if you would like the person you are having a problem with to join in with the conversation by coming to the next therapy session that way you yourself can tell the person what your problem with them is and how you would like to fix the situation. and if so have you sign a release of information form so that the therapist and you can talk about your problems with the third person being present.

therapists can set up a meeting anywhere where you, your therapist and the other person are all present to discuss the situation if you sign a release of information form.

But to go to other people outside the therapy room without a signed release of information form is illegal and unethical and grounds for the therapist to lose their job and license.
