This is only the last in a string of dubious antics on your part. You should not have been offering me jobs, or regaling me with inappropriately intimate details about your mental health/ boyfriends/ family dysfunction etc.
You are clearly in a muddle with boundaries, and then attempt to shame and punish me as you have no idea how to handle the relationship.
None of this is therapeutic and I will not tolerate this.
Do not contact me again.
PA -
Please supply the information about me I am entitled to under the Data Protection Act 1998, relating to my personal file, record or notes.
If you need any more information from me, or a fee, do let me know as soon as possible.
It may be helpful for you to know that a request for information under the Data Protection Act 1998 should be responded to within 40 days.
I have copied in the X Clinic in case they normally deal with these requests rather than you - let me know if I need to make my request to a different person.
Many thanks,
IG

You have double messages in here:
"Do not contact me again."
AND
"If you need any more information from me, or a fee, do let me know as soon as possible."
Honestly. I know you think you need to say all of the above to her, but it is going to fall on deaf ears AND I wouldn't trust her for a minute to not reply in order to justify herself to you, particularly since you have been ambiguous about contact in this email draft.
Write it out and burn it or something, but telling her these things isn't going to change her. It isn't going to really do anything for you; that is fodder for future therapy with a much more professional therapist. And you are continuing to engage in a conversation with her this way.
