I've asked for my records at nearly every doctor's I've been at, including psych ones. You don't always get the notes, but you're entitled to the rest.
But, and this is a big but, I think it's a good idea to have someone on hand when you read them. I was positively distraught when I saw the brief comments in my pediatric records. And this would be worse because you cared about T1.
So by all means go ahead and ask for them. But maybe you could establish a relationship either with T2 or with another therapist before taking them out of that sealed envelope.
Just my own thoughts.
(At a guess, it sounds like T2 freaked a little when T1 told her it wasn't a good idea, and she'd already promised to do it.)
