Thanks for trying DJ
Im not taking that chance again. I don't know what is in store for me in the future but I do know this much I have already gone through DHS supenaing my records once and I had to do some fancy footwork to take care of the situation that got exposed.

Im not willing to go through that again by not watching what goes in my files.

Its not some major inconvienence for my therapist and I to keep certain information out of the official records. To me its no big deal that she doesn't keep my journal entries, paintings, sketches and poetry on file. All that matters is that she gets to see and read them and knows whats going on with me. And I don't talk about my Self injury and suicidal thoughts with her because of other reasons not because of files getting supena'ed. and all that matters on those situations is that she knows I am actively working to take care of them and I do that on my own.

in fact most of my therapy program is done on my own. As for disclosing my DID on the files - regardless of what it is called on the files DID, PTSD with Dissociative features, and so on I still work on it.

Its kind of like my child being labeled as 5 different disorders and mental problems and behavior problems because this state doesn't allow therapists to label a child schizophrenic until they reach 18. just because he is not being called that officially does not mean his therapists can't take care of his problems with him. It just means for the time being all the other labels are on there to ensure he gets the correct treatment.

Lables don't matter the treatment does right. the same thing with files. just because something is not listed in there does not mean we cant work on it. Most of my therapy program can't be labeled professionally anyway. I make up my own therapy activities. I have a house project going, I have thought records going, Ive got Dissociation logs going, Ive got journaling going Ive got what I call awareness therapy going, and now I also have hypnotic techniques in the plan, sensory stimulation, walking meditations, nancy J napier stuff, laura Davis books, workbooks for depression, you name it I have all this stuff going at the same time and this one intersecting into that one and so on and accomplishing it 24/7. Even if we wanted to there is no way on earth my therapist could even write half of what I am doing in those files even if they had professional names for what I am doing. and the DHS caseworker I had most of the time would not have agreed with my therapy projects anyway. If I saw my therapist she sent SKR off to the ethics board for seeing me too much, When SKR felt I was ready to cut back on my face to face sessions the caseworker sent her to the ethics board for not seeing me enough.

besides if LL did keep things to put in the file well my family tree / genogram project is now three feet long it needs a box not a file , my house project stands 3 feet tall, 3 feet long and 2 and half feet wide. LOL. I have a wicker trunk here at home and a file cabinent and they are booth full to flowing over into the rest of the room.

dear DJ I really aprreciate that you did some reseach and I hope it helps others. Me. Im going to continue playing it safe and keeping things separate so that I don't land in hot water later down the road. once bitten twice shy I guess. for me the result based on what has already happened to me o this issue its saffer for me this was.

Take care.
