all therapists hide behind the 'confidentiality' clause. "well, it's confidential information so i can't divulge information like an AFFAIR to the spouse." bullcrap.
i agree that an IC needs to have a session with a spouse or family member to know the full story in order to provide the proper treatment. otherwise, any ordinary joe can be an ic.
you should know better than to give advice when you are only hearing one side of the story.
h told his ic that i had an anger management issue. i had 12 sessions with my ic who specializes in anger management and she kinda laughed and said you hardly have an anger management problem. and i have yelled on more than half of those sessions. i don't take my frustrations out in public. i have self-control. i don't hit things, i don't throw things, i just vent in the privacy of my own car, and i'm good.
everything just spiralled out of control and he justified his reasons for d.
i practically wanted to accuse my h of having an EA with the ic.
