I'm in the UK, and when I asked one of my therapists if I could see what she had written about me, she was very offended and refused. I only asked because she always misinterpreted what I was telling her, and I was curious about my notes. She eventually half relented, and when our sessions ended, showed me the letter that she would be sending to my doctor. I read it in front of her and I wasn't happy with what she had written because she blamed me for not making any progress. It upset me, but I didn't say anything.

Also, when I was being assessed prior to therapy, the assessor had my previous therapist's notes and would often disagree with with what I was telling her, saying that what was written down was completely different. This concerned me tremendously, because the information was untrue and I had no way of correcting it.

That was more than a decade ago, but this thread has made me wonder what else has been written about me - and what I can do to ensure that any other mental health professionals I deal with, will listen to what I have to say without bias.
