Therapists often recommend that you don't read your chart without a therapist present (either the one who wrote the chart, or a different one).
Sometimes what they say sounds cold, but is meant to be "clinical". Some of their jargon can be easily misinterpreted by those of us not in that field.
There are many reasons *not* to read your chart. I think that I would want to talk with a therapist about why I *did* want to read the chart fairly extensively before viewing it.
That said, you do have a legal right to read it. It makes sense to me to have someone there if you choose to do so.
