That was the implication. There have been a couple of times he asked if he could speak to someone else about me and my family and I had to sign a release for him to do this. But no written documents were exchanged.
I am really glad he doesn't keep notes. I saw my family doctor's file on me and there are all sorts of inaccuracies there and stuff I wish wasn't there. It is hard to get it corrected once it is in their computer system. Even when I tell them something is incorrect, I find it is still there when I visit next.

Yep, I've ran into similar experiences with my regular physicians, and it was some pretty personal, and
inaccurate stuff in my files. Some of it was downright unprofessional. I'm not worried about my T as much as I am about who the data goes to and who possibly has access to it after it leaves his hands-- if it leaves his hands. Even my T is human and prone to error because of his hubris.
What I really hate is possibly needing accommodations for my ADHD for classes because I'm not doing very well right now and the medication isn't really working... I'm going to solicit my T's input on this. When I did it before the only thing that helped was the extra test time, but my problem is primarily studying, not test taking. The supports I've had experience in the past with at my old university were really just in name only; they really didn't take any true action to help-- but they sure requested a lot of detailed personal data and reports from my T and psych doc in order to provide me with that empty "support". I am not optimistic about my new school either.
Sickens me. Annoys me. Frustrates me. I am more than that fubared file they have on me. I dont know I just feel sorta messed up guys, and vulnerable--- and I don't want personal stuff about me getting out to people.
