I think it would depend. If you’ve hurt yourself/intend to hurt yourself and you’re a minor they can let your parents know. If you’ve done something like murder someone then I think they can report that since it’s like. Obviously really harmful and illegal so y’know. I’m not too sure of the parameters on it, every therapist may be different on what they report. Obviously if you’re in danger then they’ll tell the necessary people
@starshock I’m talking about if u share a rlly disturbing or taboo thought can they report you?
@Nick17 I don’t think so, unless you’re an immediate danger/have done a crime, if you’re sharing disturbing or taboo thoughts related to OCD they won’t
Highly depends on the area and what the topic is.
If they are an ERP therapist who understands that OCD thoughts of harming oneself or others are thoughts then I don’t think so. A talk therapist could take the same thoughts as intent so an ERP therapist is better for such thoughts.
Any good therapists knows what OCD does. It’s totally illogical thinking it’s really hard if it’s just a thought that you know is irrational then I wouldn’t really worry about that. Hey Siri will tell you everything that you’re afraid of.
