Will my psych have to tell anyone if I tell her about abuse which happened a few years ago?

Question

I was molested for around a year and I've never told anyone. I'm thinking of telling my psych, but will she have to tell anyone? (I'm 15 atm) It's not happening anymore and I'm not around the person who did it. I just couldn't stand anyone making a big deal out of this.

Answer 1

All the docotors pledge to maintain the privacy required in a patient and doctor relation .So am sure no doctor will discuss anything without your knowledge. Please be assured.  

Answer 3

I'm 15 too, and I know what youre going through. If you don't tell someone, feelings and emotions are going to well up inside of you and youre going to explode, like I did. She won't have to say anything, and she probably won't anyway. You probably don't want to hear this, but you need to tell someone other than her, like a trusted female in the family or even a friend who can get you help. You need to go get yourself checked out to make sure that you're okay. After this is taken care of, you will be such an inspiration to other people. It is a big deal, hon, you have to understand that. It is a traumatic event that has happened in your life. You don't have to make it open, but you definitely need to get help. I'm rooting for ya :)

Uhm...

I think it depends on who it was, how old they were...

But..

If it's not happening anymore, I doubt they'll tell anyone.

If it's really bothering you, go ahead and confide in them.

Answer 5

I think they will notify the police or whoever, because they have to by law. I am currently studying youth work and we were told we had to report any kind of abuse. you may not want to make a big deal about it but think about how you would feel if a few years down the track you found out that they did this to someone else. it takes a lot of courage to tell someone so good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Answer 6

Maybe it will become a big deal. Ask her first. I don't think she would but she'd ask you to tell your parents :)  

Answer 7

i know in the usa bc ur still underage they would have to notify ur parents and here depending on how many years ago it is it cou.d just not matter any more on a legal aspect thats what happened to me i waited to long and couldnt press charges anymore i was no longer "at risk" but it was a family member its better to tell however bc whoever it was could be doing it to someone else and even tho i couldnt press charges it still went on record. think about how u felt when it happened for a year are u really ok knowing that whoever thier next victim is cant sleep and cant eat due to overall fear... sorry but i couldnt good luck and i hope everything works out for you  

Answer 8
