mountaindew24,
I forget how your records got initially transfered from your old T to your new T.

If I ever decide at some point to see a different T, I (personally) would never permit this type of exchange unless I was the one controlling what information was shared. The whole point of starting therapy with someone new is to get yourself a chance to start with a clean slate. If you have some major mental illness, the new T will catch on fairly quick and do their own investigation into it. Maybe I am just being a freak but.... I don't want my health professionals chatting behind my back... even with good intentions.

I say _____ your old T. Her understanding of you and and her ability to treat you was obviously ineffective. Otherwise you would still be going to her and not this new T. Is there some reason you are allowing her to continue to influence your current treatment? Kick her off your health care team. If you are no longer seeing her, why is she meeting with your new and and Dr? I think I am missing something here.

Absolutely! I'm missing something too.
And...has there been a consent to release information signed by him for the psychiatrist and therapist to collaborate in the first place? I don't recommend any transfer of records from one therapist and/or pdoc to another in most cases. The potential for bias is far too great.
