My childhood therapist had some interesting files on me when I was little and sexual abuse was suspected. I was 8 when I went Im 41 now. Would they keep records that are 33 years old? Or do they throw them out like 10 years after?

Is it the same therapist's office? Otherwise, if your in the States, it doesn't matter, they can't see them.

I got them for therapist about ten years ago. She wasnt the same therapist. I walked in with my license and got them but that was ten years ago and that therapist I had is now dead and they cant find the copy I made for her.

No I do. Its just another ten years have passed since I got them. They are probably destroyed right?

Medical records are required to be stored somewhere. They aren't allowed to destroy them. If the practice has gone away, then you could have trouble hunting them down, but someone still has them.
