Informace v terapii: Co sdílet, co zůstat tajemstvím a jak to funguje

When you share something in therapy, it’s not just talk—it’s informace v terapii, osobní, citlivé a právně chráněné údaje, které tvoří základ důvěry mezi klientem a terapeutem. Also known as tajemství terapie, it is protected by Czech law and ethical codes that require therapists to keep your words confidential—unless there’s a real, immediate danger to life or safety. This isn’t secrecy for secrecy’s sake. It’s the foundation that lets you speak freely, even about the things you’re ashamed of, afraid of, or can’t tell anyone else.

But not every piece of information stays locked in the room. mlčenlivost terapeuta, právně zakotvená povinnost chránit vaše osobní údaje. Also known as důvěrnost v terapii, it has clear exceptions: if you plan to harm yourself or someone else, if a child is being abused, or if a court orders disclosure. These aren’t loopholes—they’re safety nets. Your therapist doesn’t decide this alone. They follow strict guidelines set by the Czech Psychological Society and the law. And if they ever need to break confidentiality, they’ll talk to you first—unless waiting would put someone in danger. This isn’t about betrayal. It’s about responsibility. You’re not handing over your secrets to a stranger—you’re trusting someone who’s trained to protect them, even when it’s hard.

What you say in therapy isn’t just personal history—it’s part of your healing. etické pravidla terapie, soubor zásad, které zajišťují bezpečí, respekt a transparentnost v terapeutickém procesu. Also known as pravidla důvěrnosti, they guide how therapists handle notes, emails, group sessions, and even what they say to other professionals. For example, if your therapist uses digital tools to send homework, they must use encrypted platforms. If they attend a supervision meeting, they can’t mention your name or details that could identify you. These rules exist because therapy doesn’t work if you’re constantly wondering, "Will they tell someone?" The most powerful thing in therapy isn’t the technique—it’s the feeling that you’re safe. That’s why the quiet moments, the pauses, the things you never say out loud—they all matter. And they’re protected.

Some people worry that if they share too much, they’ll be judged. Others fear they won’t share enough and won’t get better. The truth? Therapy moves at your pace. You don’t need to reveal everything on day one. You don’t even need to know what to say. What matters is that you can say it—when you’re ready—and know it won’t leave the room. That’s the power of informace v terapii: they’re not just words. They’re the building blocks of change.
