Your therapist cannot structure your therapy properly without knowing this. Again, give yourself the permission to be good to yourself.

Other than your fears of your T or P-Doc telling your parents, I'm curious as to why you would want to keep this information from them? I also see that you are studying psychology right now. Do you plan on entering the field at some point? If you are, could you fast forward to the point at which you are working with clients? If one or many of them were using illicit drugs while in therapy, would you want to know? BTW: unless you have signed the appropriate release of information form, it is illegal for your treatment providers to discuss your treatment with your parents.
