Does your T know you don't like her talking to your other professionals?
Can you negotiate some boundaries around that, even if you can't prevent her completely from talking to your professionals? Such as, everything in your session will be confidential unless she specifically asks your permission to tell a specific thing from your session to your other professionals? Or a bit looser--she has permission to tell everything from your session unless you ask her not to tell specific things? So if there are very sensitive things you don't want shared, get her to agree to confidentiality on those. That is the agreement I have with my T. I tried to go for the first one, where he had to ask my permission to share specific things with the rest of my legal team, but he couldn't agree. But he will give confidentiality for specific things I request. Also, for talking to other medical professionals, he has to have me sign a release. We have done that a couple of times so he could talk to my daughter's therapist. But if I didn't sign a release with the other professional's name on it, he could NOT speak to them. So if you have signed such releases, could you tell your T you have changed your mind? It just seems like there is some negotiation you could do around this boundary.
Also, have you told your other professionals how you don't like this? Maybe some of them would be more on your side about this than your T and could help you get some boundaries in place.
