i have been off work with depression . Occupational Health have written to my psychiatrist for a report (I wanted to be helpful and stupidly signed a consent form).. My psychiatrist has said that they intend to send Occupational Health a copy of the initial report they did for my GP.,This includes details about a horrific sexual assault I was subject to as a child (amongst other more recent and I would argue relevant things- bullying at work etc). I feel horrified that this may be shared with my line manager and potentially even more widely distributed (he is a terrible gossip). Is there anything that I can do? I don’t think I could beat to go back if he found out, it’s so personal and I don’t believe it’s directly relevant (although I know past trauma can impact upon more recent experiences and how we react ) I really don’t want my manager to know.
Makes me feel physically sick and my skin crawl. Help!!
