I had something happen to me here goes I was in group Therapy and a lady in there see's the same Phychricast (how ever you spell it)
So when I saw Phy I said hey someone in group also see's you and I told him her name and he said I can't tell you if I see her or not because it breaks client HIPPA rights! My Psy owns the practice which has over 50 Psy DR.'S and 100 Therapists. So I think he should no the law's. He has a Lawyer who is employed for the practice for law suit issues. This is infact a law suit issue and I would tell your friend! Lets say you had a hunch he was going to this Therapist and you asked you and he denied it for what ever reason and so you make an appointment yourself with her and try to get her to tell you a name of a patient she see's by saying you were refered etc.. afair etc.. and she reveals his name wouldn't that be breaking the law? Heck yes. Or if you were his wife and thought he was having an afair and so you go in pretending to be his mistress ans the t blurts out his name it is like she is guesing because the male client has told t he had an afair. So Therapist wouldn't guess a male client who has never mentioned having an afair. Best of luck to you. IMHO I would feel not so safe to tell her scarey things about your past.
