I have been having personal training with a martial arts instructor. I told the instructor something very personal and sensitive. I asked him if he has told anyone? He said "no" at first. I then asked if he has told anyone other instructors. He then confessed another instructor knows. I have not given any permission for this.
I was obviously very upset about this and it has caused me a great deal of distress. I then confronted him about it another day and he said he couldn't remember what he said.
I feel he has betrayed my trust, I can't trust the other instructor.
I spoke to the other instructor about this and there response to this was "he didn't actually tell me anything". Not sure I believe this, feel they are protecting themselves.
Am I right that he has breached confidentiality? Is it against ethics as you are meant to trust and respect your instructors.
Any thoughts please,
