Unfortunately, psychotherapy notes fall under the exception to HIPPA access. What reason did your therapist give you for not releasing your notes to either you or the courts?
Maybe start there and emphasize the implications of you not having the notes.
If there is still refusal, request your mental health records. They are different in that it provides a record of sessions, diagnoses, symptoms, treatments, and prognosis. Unfortunately it may be similar to what your pdoc gave the courts.
Maybe ask them to write a summary or report of impressions, diagnosis, things your working on. But if they are refusing to provide notes, they may refuse that as well.
