Any experience of dicussing ctb etc. in therapy?

[stepout]

Hey,

I'm wondering if anyone has experience speaking in therapy ab ctb or self harm.... I've seen online that they often have to breach confidentiality when you have both means and a plan to ctb. Though I also assume that, even if there's an objective legal bar for breaching, in reality it must to an extent come down to the vibe they get right?

Tempted to ask my therapist the exact requirements are for them to breach, and if they'd be willing to "talk around" topics which theyd need to breach if I told them in full.

Once a counsellor actually suggested "talking around certain topics" to me, to my suprise. Can't see her again tho.

I'm worried me bringing this stuff up will, in itself, make her jumpy to breach.

Also has anyone encountared a pro-choice therapist who won't disclose?

Sorry I'm sure there's many threads on this, am a new user yet to gain access to the search bar

What are your concerns about it? Like you really just want to listen, and help?

Would be nice, but personally I don't want to risk it. Whenever a professional asks I just say no.

I Get it, just tell them enough, I mean the psych isn't the worst place, but telling doctors everything is no good idea

I've found therapists to be pretty useless when talking about suicide. I can't give them too much detail or else they'll report me, and the stuff I do share is met with pro-life platitudes >:T

I've been able to be very open about my suicidal ideation with my recent therapists/psychiatrists. I never shy away from saying how I plan to ctb. But I've just been lucky to have the ones who approach my suicidal ideation openly and try to understand the roots of it instead of giving worthless empty words of positivity.

Yeah I find that too... seems kinda dumb if the whole point of therapy is to talk about your deepest stuff but that's the very thing you can't talk about without them reporting you to a soulless, incompetent, ineffective system.

Nice to hear this is possible, do they keep what you share private?
