The legality of recording therapy sessions with a cell phone can vary depending on the jurisdiction and specific laws in your country or state. It's essential to consult with a legal professional in your area for advice tailored to your specific situation.
In some places, recording conversations without the consent of all parties involved may be illegal, while in others, it might be permissible if one party consents (i.e., either the therapist or the client). This is often referred to as "one-party consent" or "two-party consent" laws.
If you knew you were being recorded during your session and recorded it as evidence, the legality of your recording might also depend on whether you had the therapist's consent to record her. If the therapist had not consented to being recorded, you might find yourself in a legally complicated situation.
If you believe that the recorded information is crucial to prove your case, it's best to consult with a legal professional to understand the specific laws in your jurisdiction and how they apply to your situation. They can provide guidance on whether or not you can share the recording with the relevant authority or court.
In any case, therapy sessions typically involve a level of confidentiality and trust between the therapist and the client. If you have concerns about the therapist's behavior or actions during the session, it's essential to address them directly with the therapist or consult with appropriate authorities or licensing boards if necessary.
Again, please remember that legal advice should always be obtained from a qualified attorney familiar with the laws in your jurisdiction to ensure you receive accurate and up-to-date information.
