I talk about my therapy with my brother and few close friends. Some acquaintances know I'm in therapy, too, but they don't know specifics, and I don't really talk about it.
My MIL knows I'm in therapy but my parents don't. My partner knows because he's also in therapy.
Because of my issues, I'm picky about how knows and who I talk about it with (which is why my parents will never know). I need people to be supportive, or I need to not care about their opinions at all. I am more open though now, because I've been in it for a while and I can see that I've made amazing strides.
I really only talk specifics about my treatment with one or two people since it's a very vulnerable topic. But, I'll talk about my general thoughts and feelings about therapy with almost all of the people who know.
