My parents know I'm in therapy because it shows up on our explanation of benefits online. I don't talk about it because I'm in therapy because of my parents. If they contacted my therapist for any reason at all, AT ALL, I would flip on them. It doesn't matter how worried they are, there is absolutely no reason to ever talk to a therapist. Therapy is for YOU to work on what you want to work on, not what other people think is wrong with you. Totally unacceptable.

Also, when you say professional network, are you saying that your family member is a therapist also? If I were a therapist, I would never listen to a family member. They may think they are helping you, but it seems more like they are trying to control your behavior. It's like they are tattletaling on you. If anything, this seems far more telling of your relative's behavior than yours. If you are wondering what your therapist is thinking, I would ask if I were you, but if she is any good then she will not pay any mind to it.
