You could ask him to make copy's of them and then take the originals back.

This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors. |

Yes, she would give them back if asked. She would probably want to make copies but would respect if I said no.

yes, i have, but he is supposed to keep copies of anything exchanged between us i guess. so I've been more cautious about doing letters even though they help me express myself more

When I give her my journals, she sends them back to me with comments on them.

When I write letters to T he always reads them immediately and discusses in session. He then always asks my permission to either keep them or copy them. If I said no, he would just give it back to me.

I think so. I bring in things for my T to read, and she always asks if it's ok to keep them. If I wanted them back, I'm sure she'd acquiesce. However, I've noticed she takes copious notes (not sure when she does this, as I never notice her doing so in session), so I think the general content would remain in my chart even if the source document was removed.

I think the therapist should give stuff back personal writing if you want him or her to, but I always keep a copy of anything I write. I do think anything I share with him or her in writing or verbally is probably part of my record, so I would not share anything illegal. I also don't sign blanket "release of information" forms between therapists or between my therapist and my medical doctor.

My attachment therapist would have given them back if requested and not copy them for the chart. She received over 1,000 emails from me before we terminated and keeps them separate from files that she can be audited on by the state.
When I deleted everything from my computer out of frustration and I wanted to reread certain emails she asked me what time period or would I like a copy of all my emails and her response. I requested the whole file. |

I have given more than one T personal journals (just printed pages, I do it on the computer). They gave them back to me the next week without my having to ask.
I think writing is very personal and belongs to the writer. I would be upset if my T kept my writing when I asked for it back. I don't think it's right to keep the client's writings if asked for them back. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
