I (22/F) feel like I'm being held hostage by my parents.

I completely agree with how it was a terrible idea. I did not do it as I realised how it would make the situation worse. I am very glad I did not act on that.

She has told me she is not allowed to disclose anything to her that is spoken in sessions. I've already told her I do not want them involved at all but they are pushing it as they seem to think it will help. She said it will just be educating her and how my parents can help. I'm just incredibly worried that my mum will then try to press coming in again and that she will misinterpret whatever my psych says and make things worse. As well as the potential to lie just to get her way. When I discussed the harm that the pressure they are putting on me is doing, I have been very calm and will continue to do so as I really need a solution.
