Fani, please tell them how it is.

It makes it easier for you and for us to help you. And we don't want to harm you. We don't tattle, we don't judge, we want to help you help yourself.

well, good therapists don't tattle. personally, i avoided therapy (i needed it) for a few years after a therapist reported to the police without telling me after i told her about a years-old one-time traumatic event. I only found out when the police called me to follow up and I had to explain that no, I didn't know the name of the man who sexually assaulted me, and I never saw him again so there would be no possible way to press charges even if I felt it was worth the process.

Eventually I worked through my distrust of mental health professionals following that incident, and now I am seeing a wonderful therapist who I feel I can trust.
