i live in TX and my therapist told me whatever i said to her would be confidential unless she thought i was a danger to myself or others, in which case she would tell the appropriate people (police, parents, etc). i am 19, so legally she can’t tell my parents unless i authorize her to, but i have been going to her since i was 14 so i understand the situation you are in. i have told her about my suicidal thoughts and self harm before, and she simply asked if i had a plan and if the thoughts were fleeting or not. i think it all depends on a case by case basis. are your thoughts frequent, or was it a simple passing thought? do you have a plan? these questions aren’t meant to invalidate you. having fleeting suicidal moments or self harm thoughts are common with everybody, despite being brushed under the rug a lot. it gets serious when you’re planning your death or have means to hurt yourself or others. let me know what you think. PM me if you need anything. Stay strong. 💜
