Elysium & Mary-
My T didn't say why she wanted to keep what I wrote. She asked if I had two copies and I said yes. Then she asked something along the lines if she could keep it. I tried to explain why I didn't want her to keep it (ie someone might get access to it) and she said that that was not an issue because I was not using insurance. I continued to explain that I was uncomfortable with her keeping it and she finally handed it back to me. She knows how big an issue confidentiality is for me. I would have felt better if she after asking once had just accepted that I didn't want her to keep it. I can see that she was just trying to allay my worries about someone getting it, but I didn't feel like she respected my decision, especially since she had agreed on that as part of me showing her what I wrote. I will ask her next session why she wanted to keep it. Or at least I hope I will.
