The potential new T needs particular parts of my records(specifically letters written from my psychiatrist & T to my general practitioner re assessment and diagnoses) and my T was going to show them to me before sending. I gave tentative permission to send based on me viewing first.

Now, he has been informed by his clinic that I am not allowed to see them, unless I go through an official request process as required under legislation here.

I am both not surprised(I have had to request full mental health records for previous clients) and also completely pissed off!! My T agrees with me completely on this.

What it comes down to is, they are not my full file, both PDoc and T are happy for me to see them, they are about me and I can withdraw permission to send anyway.

But here is the problem.......and I am screwed no matter what I want.....the new T would need them anyway(and potentially way more crap than I am comfortable with) to be able to process the application for the funding to pay for any future therapy!

Once again I am left with no control, stuck between a rock and a hard place! As if this ending with my T isn't hard enough.

Gah!...........I do have a question though. Why do I feel so desperate to have some control over all of this, control over these letters? Am I being overly sensitive?
