But I'm sure the same laws of confidentiality apply, so the decision about whom to tell, if anybody, is yours - even if the therapist should have an opinion on the matter.

I do hope that's the case over here as well... Not having to worry about others knowing of it does put me at ease a little bit.
I'm actually in university righ now, but it's kind of a cultural thing in Greece that you are only considered an adult after you have finished uni. It is expected from pretty much everyone that your parents still have control over at least 70% of your life until your early twenties...and that's why I have the feeling that in some way I will be asked if my parents know.
