As my appointment gets closer, tomorrow morning, I am beginning to dread the discussion of the end. During my first couple of months of therapy, I would always write down my thoughts because I was in a very bad place and could not actually open up with discussion. Some of these writings were very much off the wall. My t kept these, but said they were in a separate folder, not the official file. I am going to ask for this folder tomorrow. I hope she really did keep them separate. I am very paranoid about not having control of sharing my history.
Also, I wonder what happens to all of her notes. Does she keep them or do these stay with the business-a group of psychologists/therapists who make their own rules, but benefit from the scheduling, location, etc. of the business?
Personally I would prefer that my records not follow me. If I am starting over with a new therapist, I want to be treated on who I am now. I will share my past, but I would rather use my words, and not someone else's notes.
Sorry to ramble, I am just trying to get my thoughts and feelings organized for tomorrow!
