Mental health privacy

Okay I used to see a mental health psychologist that my aunt enrolled me. Find it weird the psychologist was talking on the phone asking aunt for my social security number.

Aunt comes on forst day and introduces my health problems. Then psychologist tells my aunt I am not I treated in program so aunt forces me to join.

I reported psychologist to dorector of company for speaking to my aunt without consent and psychologist got slapped on wrist. And was promoted CEO after two months according to linkedin .


Director says psychologist has to keep your aunts number and your social security for seven years as an emergency n



I dont feel comfortable tjat dorector doesn't want to delete my social security and aunts number because psychologist can overhear me talking about having a Marijuana addiction in tje streets talking to my friends or me enjoying talking about guns as a hobby to Friends and make a note of it. Also I live in a small city so its not hard for therapist to overhear me talk to grind and mark my conversations in my medical notes . Also I am afraid if I use aggressive language therapist can call my aunt as emergency.

Instead of helping situation director encouraged psychologist to keep aunts number in an emergency
