Understanding the Ethical Landscape of Therapy Confidentiality

Should I Say This in Therapy?

Have you ever wondered what your therapist can and can’t share outside the therapy room? Or when therapy confidentiality laws require them to break that trust?  

In this collaborative episode, Ellie Pike joins clinicians Maria Ortiz and Dr. Zoe Ross-Nash from the ‘On the Mic with ED’ podcast to unpack the often-misunderstood boundaries of confidentiality in therapy. 

Topics Covered:

• What informed consent really means
• When therapists are legally required to break confidentiality (and when they’re not) due to mandatory reporting
• How clients can navigate trust, shame, and uncertainty in the therapy room

Whether you’re in therapy for an eating disorder, addiction, trauma, or personal growth, this conversation will help you understand your rights in therapy and navigate those hard conversations with confidence.
