Long story short. I am a CSA and DV survivor. The only people who know about my history are my counsellors. Out of the blue late last week I received a call from a detective from the local police station in my area asking me to confirm a report they had received from an unknown source. This detective had precise details about my abusers only souls on Earth that know are my professional helpers. I have asked them and of course they all deny making any contact with the police. Since then I feel extremely unsafe which I am sure is also a bit of paranoia within myself and also anyone around me. I have few friends and my professional support that's it no family support. Now I have lost all trust in everyone including me. I don't even know if this is the right place to be asking for such help but I want to know if there is any way I can request an investigation into my health records or am I just needing to accept this has happened and move on. I wanted to be the one to one day make this report to the police, myself, in my own time and AGAIN someone has taken my power away from me. I don't want to talk anymore to any of these people I don't want to work with them I want to walk away from everyone isolate and hide away to protect myself against any further harm. I am angry with someone but I don't know who to be angry with. I feel so let down and betrayed by someone. Running away feels more safer and comfortable then facing this reality. I want silence. I can't get that here.

They have breached your trust which is unlawful - please call your local council community help line or a lawyer - so wrong

Hey Kombie - hope you're hanging in there.
It is hard to have the weight of confusions and emotions from all directions... I totally understand the hesitation to call Beyond Blue or Lifeline. I think it can sometimes be preventative - and you are worthy to call anytime - as many times as you want. It can cause guilty feelings which are truly understable, but you are worthy. Even if it helps one tiny percentage, you are that important

Thanks all for your replies. I wish I felt worthy of your kind hearted words I don't and I know I should be calling a helpline number I can't I'm causing myself such a disservice.
An update about the breech of confidentiality, today after the counsellor admitted to their clinical supervisor a couple of days ago, I lodged a complaint through my states health department. In all seriousness though it's not going to make a shred of difference. I've decided to quit all counselling and therapy and everything how can I trust anyone now I don't know what I am to do now I feel so betrayed and lost
