I'm sorry, but that's violating client confidentiality, and where I live it could be grounds for reporting the therapist, if the OP wanted to do so. I don't think the T would lose their licence, but I'm pretty sure they would get a warning.

Although he told a colleague how the OP made him feel, unless he shared actual information specifically about her, there was no breach of confidentiality. Maybe it's different where you live but that's the code in the US.
