OP, I'm sorry this happened to you. do you feel like you can talk to your therapist about it at all and ask for an explanation?

The OP never said the consult therapist mentioned her name or her therapist name. Her therapist can consult about her case without mentioning her name or speak of her in his personal therapy without mentioning her name. If the consult therapist figured it out on his own, and he said what he said to the OP, her confidentiality was not violated through the course of her therapist therapy. Her therapist's confidentiality was violated. Just like us clients, he has a right to confidentiality. If the OP's name was mentioned in consultation then her therapist had a right to protect her name. But, the OP never mention names were mentioned at any time in her original post. My guess is there is a bit more to Th the story that the poster is not comfortable in sharing. My opinions only.
Sorry, if I was not clear in my previous post.
ETA: Have read the rest of the posts by OP, and I can't get the story to add up to her confidentiality was violated, unless her name was specifically mentioned. Also, the OP talks about a certain medium, George(?). A possibly unfortunate scenario: her therapist without mentioning names share her case within his therapy, three deaths, continually contacting him, him handling her therapy badly, etc. all this is ripe for therapy. And yes, unfortunate if the the OP accidentally go outed. I don't see a reporting offense as it pertains to this situation with her therapist.
