Thank you for all the tips! I ended up not telling him I want to end. I went to a few more sessions, asked for the journal back so I could have it before we see each in person and he said he can't mail confidential records and even if he could his post office is not working regularly etc. Hoping to get it at least when I come by in person.

I am SO MAD about this. I spent all this time writing it and all he gives me is "I hope you feel better now that you've written it all out." No, I don't. Years and years of anger over mistakes that end up derailing my life to this day aren't fix just because I wrote words on a paper.

This is really frightening to hear. I mostly wrote about anger at my family members and nothing criminal. Just feeling like they failed me.
