I'm in a difficult situation and trying to figure out my next steps.

therapist breaching confidentiality. I've been dealing with this for about 15 weeks now and the situation isn't improving.

I have already consulted briefly with a lawyer but got conflicting advice.

Do I have a strong case? What should my next steps be?

Not a lawyer, but I have direct experience with this.

The thing that gets people is filing with the appropriate government agency. I'd recommend gathering evidence first instead.

This happened to me too. Have you tried filing a complaint with the relevant agency? In my case they investigated and it got resolved without needing a lawyer.

Yep, this is textbook.

The thing that gets people is having everything documented. I'd recommend keeping a detailed timeline instead.

I work in this industry and unfortunately this is very common. The good news is that when people actually push back with legal representation, companies usually settle.

Not gonna lie, nAL, but from what I've read if that makes sense, you should document everything. That's the general rule anyway, exceptions exist fr fr.

I went through almost the exact same thing.

What worked for me was having everything documented. It took 3-6 months but was worth it.
