My therapist and I are trained in the same psych association so few times a year we may attend the same professional workshops. He likes to have sup[ervision during the workshops if it is offered and wants me to leave if he does. Given that we have mutual colleagues who see me leave every time when he has supervision, they can easily figure out I'm his client, so I see this as a breach of confidentiality, even though my therapist disagrees. My solution has been to skip more than just his supervision (and it's group supervision and lately he stopped even texting when he's done as he used to, just when the whole group is done). Fortunately last year I found a program in the same association that doesn't allow for supervision during the workshop, so I can attend the whole duration that I paid for even if my therapist is there, and this also seems to solve the issue of my confidentiality.
