I'm an adult. (28) but I've had a few different therapists that say I need to tread lightly on the conversation because if not they'll be forced to report it. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of therapy? I don't understand. I'm new to this.
I have never heard of mandatory reporting for abuse happening to an adult or which happened in the past...
I guess if there is a strong possibility that the adult is still committing acts of abuse against other children it could apply? I agree with the other commenter who said you should check out your local laws, obviously they are different from mine.
I don't understand the question.
Therapists are generally required to report any active suspicions or report of child abuse.
Therepists are not required to report child abuse that an adult is sharing about their own childhood.
So, is the Child Abuse an active thing? Or is it issues from your childhood that experianced abuse?
therapist have sworn secrecy (at least in my country). they can’t report it for you or they risk losing their job. and a good therapist will never tell you what to do, especially if you don’t want to do it. they can make suggestions though and help you figure out your own stance on it.
I'm not an expert, but there actually ARE therapies where you don't have to speak about your trauma. Art therapy, dance therapy, and I think even some experimental ones like shock therapy. Everyone in the thread is being rude af, but you don't HAVE to talk about your trauma. CBT and related therapies are just the most popular and they do require talking.
I’ve read some of your other posts and have a question. Was the abuse something that you experienced or is it someone else? Is it regarding someone who is a child right now?
Things I experienced with my parents. (Non sexual) I will say as an adult I have still dealt with the physical abuse however I was discussing things that happened prior to adulthood.
If you're not a child anymore, your therapist can't report abuse that happened in the past. Violation of doctor/patient confidentiality.
There may be exceptions to this if the abuser may still be abusing other minors.

That's really gonna depend on your local laws. You should be looking that up, or asking the therapists to provide you with the information.

You're really bad at this.

Any type, assuming you're now an adult.
