I've talked to my T about my marriage counselor (MC) and vice versa. And both of them about my former p-doc. They are/were in the same practice, and I'd signed forms allowing them to share info about my treatment. I asked them before talking about the other practitioner if they would be willing to keep it confidential. They said yes, and to my knowledge, have kept their word. With T, since I've talked a lot about MC with her (dealing with transference stuff for a while there), she will explicitly ask me if it's OK to share something with him and wouldn't unless she got my OK.
So I'd suggest asking first, like, "There's some stuff about my relationship with T that's been bothering me. Would it be OK to talk to you about it, to get your perspective? And if so, would it be kept confidential from her?"
