Hi, gibbons.
If your main issue is your new Ts access to the notes or original records, it might be more effective to discuss it with him/her and let them know how you feel and why.
I hope s/he would respect your feelings.
I'd like to point out though that your old doctor would only give you a copy o f any notes or records-- not the originals, which he would keep for his own records. So I don't think getting a copy would protect you in the way you want.
You would, at least, know what's in them-- but you might be better off not knowing-- and just agreeing with your new T that s/he won't look at them. They might upset you, and be more of a hurtful thing than a helpful one, in the end--which, if you could avoid, it might be better..
