OMG! YES! The tattle-telling!!! I have straight-up asked my therapist if she would please not mention something to my pdoc (they work together). She'll agree not to, then it comes right back to me that she has! When I have mentioned it, therapist says, "Hmmm...she must have read my notes..."

Well, however Dr. W. gets the information, whether by spoken word or by computer notes, to me it feels like a breach of confidentiality. So now I just don't tell my T some things. It all adds up to just plain stupid.
