> next session she begins "tell me about why you attacked the therapeutic boundaries?"
Mmm. You have a cautionary story. SOMEBODY was crossing boundaries, but it wasn't you.
With my current pdoc, I think I'll bring up the topic of records *generally* — I'll mention some of the stuff the other docs wrote about me, mention your story, etc. I'll ask her what she thinks of clinical notes, what's her strategy with them, etc. Just try to break the ice about it and get her to see that my interest in them is non-threatening.
I'll tell her that I'll probably ask for her records about me eventually, too. Just to make sure she's not alarmed when it happens. But she's pretty laid-back, so I don't think there'll be a problem.

(Actually, I haven't gotten any response from a request for records I put in at one ex-pdoc's office. I wonder what's up with that.)
