My T does have all my journals. When she moved from the clinic to private practice she took them with her. They were not part of my official (legal) medical record. I believe that is still the case. The reason I know she still has them all is because I asked to see something I gave her and she had to pull them all out to find it.

Yes there are many things in them that are childish/child-like. No, I would not like to know that someone else has read them. Some times it is as simple as "ignorance is bliss".

I did sign HIPAA document again when she moved to private practice. I believe she will do everything she can to ensure their safety and confidentiality.
