I am considering going back to therapy, but am on my parents' health insurance and really don't want them to find out. I've heard mixed things about whether it is possible to keep it a secret. If it is not possible, how many statements come in the mail per year? Would they be addresssed to me? I wonder if I could intercept them. I will not be receiving medication, so I don't know if that affects things. My issues are not severe enough to warrant going to a free clinic.

Has anyone ever been through this before? If your parents found out, how did they react? My parents are very traditional, but it's not even just their reaction that worries me. I just cringe to think of them knowing because I never let them in to private aspects of my life. I'm trying to decide if it's worth it. I would like the support of a therapist, but having my parents know would really affect my feelings of safety in my home.
