An uninfluenced perspective might be useful, especially since you and your T were stuck. Think about it.

I agree with this. When I started seeing a new T a few months ago, I opted not to have him speak with my ex-T or current marriage counselor. I wanted new T to form his own impression of me without being biased by either of their thoughts. After 6 weeks, I did let him talk to my marriage counselor (for MC to share with him, but not the other way around). At that point, I felt he'd formed enough of an opinion of me and trusted him and his skills enough to not completely change his opinion based on what MC said. Still haven't had him talk to ex-T...not sure if I will, if there would really be a use for that at this point.
Edited to add: I think it might be different in the case of a psychiatrist, because having a history of medications/side effects could be really important. I did have my ex-p-doc send my records to current p-doc.
