Ok, so for sixish months I haven't been there.

Ok so. I go there for other reasons.She has no clue in suffering with depression,or the suicidal thoughts. I want to tell someone but I'm just too scared to. I freeze up, get nervous,or just don't think about it.

How can I tell? What can she to tell to my mom? What can't she tell my mom?

What should I tell her?

Are you a minor or an adult?

If you're under 18, the only things she is legally supposed to tell your parents is of you are planning on hurting yourself. Other than that, I would ask her what her policy is on parental disclosure.

This sounds right.

She can't help you if she doesn't know what is going on. Could you ask her to tell you what she has to report?

Ask the therapist about what the confidentiality policy is. I'm fairly certain they are all required to uphold confidentiality even with minors, but do confirm it, a therapist will never lie about this kind of stuff, if they do lie to you and break confidentiality they could lose their license. I saw a T when I was a minor and my T refused to share my records with my mom, even when she later sued him for said records. Funny thing was I never said anything in therapy because I was always too scared. Now I really regret that because I could have. The only thing they must report is if you say you will hurt yourself or others or molest a kid. Also, if the T worries that you are being abused they are allowed to report it.
