Just another thought....Because in my state, clients can see the entire record, and the physicians and nurses can also see the termination summaries and/or assessment reports in the charts, I tend to avoid writing specific content, particularly about sensitive issues such as abuse.
I tend to be more vague, since I cannot control who will see the information, and in the large healthcare clinic where I worked, there were lots of folks with legitimate access to the chart. My psychotherapy notes were separate, of course, but they could always be requested by the client and/or subpoena'd by the court.
So maybe, just maybe, your T did not write a lot of specific info about what you disclosed?
Keeping my fingers crossed for you...
