What is different about mandated treatment?

The order sets the reporting. The clinical side is decided the same way it is for anyone. What gets reported is normally attendance rather than anything said in a session. Bring the order itself, or a copy, to the first appointment.

Will I lose my job?

Treatment often qualifies for job protected medical leave, though the rules depend on the employer's size and your length of service. A human resources department normally needs dates and a clinician's note rather than details of the condition. Read what your own policy says before you tell anybody anything.
