I don't think it was a good idea to tell your situation to a school guidance councilor, they are there to advise you about classes. You need to see a psychologist or therapist who is trained on mental health and whose concern is you, not school. The name can be misleading and is why they told your parents, I would never trust a school councilor. My psychologists have told me that everything is confidential, they only seek outside help if they believe you are a danger to yourself, danger to others, or are in danger due to an abuser.
All you have to do is show up and share anything about your life, even if it's about your cat or something, you just need to talk. This therapist is your new best friend who will give you insight into your life and will listen to everything you say. As the relationship builds, you may feel more secure in disclosing your more inner thoughts. I assume you are a minor, if you are being seriously abused you may be taken away from your home to a more safer place. I'm not trying to scare you or anything, but this is something you want to keep in mind if you are being abused. Also, if you have a mental medical condition it will be easier to treat you with proper medication.
