- I - have always had complete access to -MY - therapy records both the official and the one that -MY - therapists keep separate because DHS is a part of - MY - life. absolutely nothing is and or has ever been withheld from - ME -.
There are times in the past when - I - have asked to see ALL files kept on and about and for - ME - and in the cases where the therapist had put things in them that they had not discussed with - ME - they gave me access to those files on the understanding that - I - read them on therapy agency premises whan - MY - therapist was on location so that if - I - had a problem with what was in the files for legal reasons and diagnostic reasons and so on -I - had access to - MY - therapist who would go over the file content with - ME - none of - MY - 19 therapists in the 20 plus years that - I - have been in therapy refused - ME - access because they didn't want - ME - to know something they had wrote in the files for legal reasons and so on.
What they usually say to ME is
"there are some things in the file that we have not discussed as of yet so I will go through the file with you or you can read it in an unused room and I will check in with you between sessions."
And - I - go in to the agency on the agreed upon time and read - MY - files. - I - can also at that time make copies of anything that -I - want to take home with - ME -.
For those that get upset by capitalization - MY capitalization is not for yelling purposes. I am just making sure -MY - I - statements are clear.
