Has a trust been broken in this situation ?
If you have been seeing a therapist and a situation came about that the police wanted to question the therapist about what you had told her. Is the therapist under any obligation to cooperate with the police if it had nothing to do with what the investigation was about. If the therapist did tell the investigators every thing that was said and later in court the Judge decided that the information was deemed private and couldn't be used but the therapist already told the investigators every thing, was there a breach of trust?

If this is a licensed practitioner, there is a doctor patient link that prevents ANY communication with the police over private conversations.
It is inadmissible in court, but any further consequences would depend on the nature of any release of information, and ultimately would be up to the governing body in charge of the therapist.

there was a breach of trust if the subject of your session was not pertinent to the case and the therapist disclosed details of the session.
