Confidentiality in Therapy

Yes, everything you say in therapy is confidential if you do not explicitly say or write informed consent. However, there are a few exceptions, such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law.

For a therapist, confidentiality means maintaining the privacy of client information and not disclosing it without the client's consent, except in certain situations required by law or ethics.

The limits of confidentiality include situations where there is a risk of harm to the client or others, legal requirements such as court orders, and mandatory reporting of abuse or neglect.
