FW--yes, I am going through this as we speak. I am in legal proceedings and my lawyer says it is in my best interest to have my therapy notes sent over. My T filled out a "mental health survey" on me and I had to pay $25 for the printing of 4 years of notes. Once I read through them, I didn't want to included them. Even my T said it could hurt my case if I didn't include them, as it may look like I had something to hide. Believe me, I didn't want any one else to look at these notes, but I just decided to go ahead with it. I thought maybe the more that was included in then notes, the less I would have to talk at the hearing--because answering questions about my trauma is not my strong point! My T also said he would be happy to attend the hearing if I wished, which was good to know. Even though his notes and answers on the survey really told the whole story...he just thought all the evidence would be worthy. But, I highly regard his opinion, so I went ahead with it.

Good Luck on everything.

For what it's worth,
