Mental Health Information

but i think that most dont do that much any more. no notes, nothing to subpoena. mostly they just take a few minutes between patients to do a short something for the file.
i doubt the note takers ever refer to them. the biggest note taker that i saw was also the absolute worst about sticking to the point of my visits. (also the worst of the lot for other reasons)

i would just ask. i suppose she would say no, but if it was some time ago, maybe not. the only reason i could see to insist on keeping them is for insurance record keeping. if sufficient time has passed, that shouldnt be an issue.

if she really needs to she could write herself a summary, and get rid of the full records.
and yeah, a bulging briefcase doesnt make me real confident in the confidentiality, either.
