As was said before therapists are legally bound to hold information confidential unless they feel you are suicidal or homocidal. In college I had a therapist call my dad and share confidential information and it was completely unprofessional. My dad was the one who told me (he is a lawyer) and suggested that I find a different therapist.
The good news is that there are really good therapists out there who won't break that trust. I would mention what happened to you in the first session and find out where they are at with this type of information to increase the trust.
Good for you in realizing you need the help and going after it.
Please keep us informed - you are not alone in cutting nor in having confidential information shared. You can get through this, others have and we will be here for you.
