This is off thread (so sorry)... I had seen this T for a number of years... he worked for an publishing house in a very large city.. prior to becoming a therapist.. he was a therapist for 2 years... when I entered into therapy... and so was "older" than the norm..and it was a huge practice of therpaists..

I was ill..worked full time.. had on-call.. and a child to raise.. so I didn't fight it..

He also copied.. all the personal notes... everything that was not "offically clinical"... and told me that he kept.. it in a cabinet.. residing in his home.. in his basement..

But to not worry - the cabinet was locked...

so.. I guess I am a "broken record" here on PC... because I know someday... when he passes.. my personal thoughts.. feelings.. artwork.. creations... reside in that file.. and someone related to him.. will have it... as they take care of his personal effects... which is my personal file..

and yes.. he still practices... he is much older pass the norm.. even now..

and forgive me for highjacking the thread..
