@annoymous I’ve had the same fear after being honest with my therapist. Realistically though, there are very few conditions under which your therapist can break confidentiality. What did she say to you?

@annoymous I understand how that sounds scary, but she is just being honest. She is ethically obligated to not lie to you, even if it would be comforting. She can’t tell you what might happen, but only because she can’t read the future.

@annoymous The situation you’re describing is not one that would allow or obligate her to break confidence. And, if she knows you have OCD, she likely knows that this is a common theme and is not going to jump to conclusions.

@annoymous That’s okay, most of the time what we feel is out of our control. But the fact that you are disgusted, means that you have a moral objection to that type of material. It seems like you’re latching on to this because it makes you uncomfortable, not because you want to do it again.

@annoymous Honestly, I really don’t think so. I struggle with something similar where if I feel extreme guilt I feel extreme punishment is warranted. This isn’t even remotely how reality works. Remember, you were 15. Police have much bigger fish to fry than a teenager googling something one time. No one has anything to gain by trying to get you arrested.

@annoymous That’s the important part. You wouldn’t be tried as if it happened when you’re an adult.

@annoymous The hard part is, OCD fears and anxiety aren’t based in reality or rational thinking. Having real answers might not stop you from being scared.

@Grenoble Maybe instead of focusing on what you’re afraid of, ask your therapist how to deal with anxiety and panic attacks in general. Ask how to learn about your triggers and the best way to approach them.

@annoymous No you can’t be a tried as an adult for something that happened when you were a minor.
