It is not weakness, in my opinion.

That's not a universal truth. My therapist is very open about her process, and some practictioners are certainly open to sharing notes. Further, clients are entitled to records of insurance claims, so we can see our diagnoses. My therapist and I simply discuss mine though. I would never see a therapist who wasn't forthcoming about their work and my diagnosis. Clients don't need to accept therapists like that.
Also, wouldn't that fall under the category of two wrongs not making a right? They're deceptive so I can be deceptive?
