Hi James,
Can you get copies of the literature from the treatment place before you go there? Maybe reading about what they do and how they do it might help you remember more about what it was like when you were last there and why you thought you were being helped.
I understand that you destroyed the notes because you were angry at the doctor, but some part of you must think it's a good place for you to go or you wouldn't be trying so hard to recall what you thought at the time.
I tried journaling for awhile, but kept ripping up what I wrote. I finally gave what I'd written to my therapist to keep. Basically to keep me away from it or I'd destroy it. Maybe your wife or your friend could keep your notes for you?
I think that maybe your friend and you should sit down with his wife and hear from both of you. Obviously your friend trusts you and you trust him. His wife should, hopefully, pick up on the good things your friend says.
