## Struggling with Therapist Relationships
From the very beginning, my relationship with the therapist was strained. Our first session resulted in an argument, leading me to doubt the benefit of continuing. Despite this, I returned for two more sessions, only to find myself in unproductive discussions with him, feeling provoked rather than supported.
## Seeking New Mental Health Providers
Recognizing the lack of progress with both my psychiatrist and therapist, I made the decision to switch to a new facility. It was clear that the original professionals were not the right fit for me, and I needed a fresh start.
## Challenges with New Providers
During my first visit with the nurse at the new place, I sensed her fear towards me, which added to my discomfort. Furthermore, the therapist’s focus on discussing sex offenders instead of addressing my schizophrenia left me feeling misunderstood and overlooked in terms of my mental health needs.

Did you transfer your health information/records to this new place?
I’d recommend you go to a new place and don’t bring any previous information with you. Your new psychiatrist does not need to see your old records. They should be able to have an evaluation with you, determine their own diagnosis, and go from there with treatment.
Psychiatry is hard because you do have to find a match, just like a therapist. It might take a couple but go until you find someone who clicks with you.
I don’t see a question in this post. Are you trying to find out if you have legal recourse to sue the former psychiatrist for their evaluation of you? That’s a bit above my knowledge base, but would likely be very difficult to prove they did so with malicious intent. There doesn’t seem to be anything about malpractice in here either, unless details are missing.
Regardless, I’d request access to your medical records to see if there are really malicious statements by your former psychiatrist. Right now you’re only guessing based on how the new team is treating you. I’m guessing that you have a diagnosis for schizophrenia from another previous psychiatrist? I’d take the records from that psychiatrist and use those as your transfer record to another new place as this one doesn’t seem to be a good fit for you either. Finding a psychiatrist/therapist that meets your needs can be challenging, and may take many tries. In the meantime, if you have a medical history showing you were on schizophrenia medication and would like to get back on it while you search for the right fit, you could broach the topic with your primary physician. Some primary physicians can/will write prescriptions for medications from psychiatric diagnosis, especially if you have a history of success on that medication and simply need your refills until you find a new psychiatrist. I don’t have personal experience with your specific diagnoses, but it’s worth asking about.
Why do you believe your previous therapist made malicious statements about you?
You are basing all of this off a vibe you got from a nurse you just met? Maybe consider objectively what was the issue at your most recent visit. What did they specifically do or say that has you concerned about what is in your chart?
To be honest, a lot of clinicians don’t look at the old notes. Maybe a quick review of meds and the annual assessment.
Did you discuss things with your old therapist during those three sessions that would be concerning to the new nurse (such as you had intrusive thoughts to harm your care provider).?
This sounds more like there’s a chance that paranoid thinking is clouding your perspective here.
Mental health professionals deal with all kinds of clients and issues every day. Some notes in a chart with an old therapist wont trigger a response unless it’s rather extreme. I’ve worked with clients that committed major crimes, including homicide, while in a psychotic state, and wasn’t feeling unsafe working with them. I have had clients tell me all kinds of things.
I’m just wondering if maybe you’re not seeing this with full clarity?
One thing you can do is ask to set up a time to go over your chart with your provider. They can show you what’s in there. It may put you more at ease so that you can start fresh with this new provider and work together in a safe and collaborative way.
Have you started by requesting your records? That way you know if and what he wrote. It can take about 30 days, give or take. If you find something flagrantly untrue you can report him to the board and see what they can do for you about correcting those records.
I’m not in legal but I’m wondering if your name matches that of a sex offender and that’s why they thought this, mixed records or something
Have you asked the new therapist why they are talking to you about this? They didn’t ask you what you want a therapist for? I would work on getting whatever was done undone instead of opting out and ignoring it.
Is the original therapist connected to a hospital system? That’s usually the easiest way to get a records correction or you can ask your new provider to add a note.
NAL but a nurse. Not all nurses are cut out to work in a mental health setting. I used to work in patient psych and we’d sometimes have new nurses of all ages who were uncomfortable with patients and hadn’t learned to hide that yet. Or you could remind her of someone else. That doesn’t mean you’re scary, just that it’s probably her problem. Interact with her like you would any stranger and she’ll come around.
As for the therapist, ask them why they’re bringing up sex offenders. You can even ask if they have any experience with treating schizophrenia. They should be straight with you. And you can ask them to help you find a specialist. Their job is to help you find who is best for you. As a therapist, they already know they won’t suit everyone. If it helps, write down a list of questions and concerns so you can have a calm conversation about it.
Fellow schizophrenic here. I’m not sure where you live, but in my state, there’s a thing called MyChart, which allows all doctors you visit to see what prescriptions you’re taking without actually accessing your session notes, which has allowed me to switch doctors multiple times without having to transfer my session notes or get re-diagnosed, because my new doctors can confirm that I’m taking the recommended meds for certain conditions. Maybe see if something like that exists near you, and switch to a new clinic without transferring your notes. This has helped me in the past when I’ve had terrible doctors.
OP. Please do not listen to the advice of u/peachypierogi. They are claiming they are a “health care provider” but are actually not. They have no clue what they are talking about. I have lots of experience treating patients with schizophrenia and they have none. Just be straight with your team. And I hope you have a happy and healthy life.
You can request a copy of your medical record. This will allow you to see what information is in the record. Although information in a record cannot be erased, you are allowed to put in your own statements correcting what you feel is incorrect. This doesn’t happen very often, so the clinic may not know how to do this. You can write a letter with the correct information and tell the clinic to add it to your medical record.
I am sorry you are having to deal with this.
You can ask for your medical record to be amended at the previous place especially if they submitted that info to your insurance company
Is it possible that you said something to the previous therapist that could have been construed as a sexual offence? People seem to be focusing either on you being paranoid or the records being falsified. But it’s possible that you have actually done or said something that would be classified as a sexual offence. Have you ever talked to the previous therapist about any of your romantic interactions with others, romantic or sexual thoughts towards others, etc? I say this in earnest, because not all sexual crimes are of a malicious nature; the very topic can have a lot of grey area. Some people may believe they’re just being forward, that someone else was playing hard to get, or that it was all above board even though it wasn’t. Even with mundane intentions, from a third party point of view a sexual crime could be apparent.
Please take into account that your perception of events might be altered due to your condition. Not saying they are, but several things you mentioned could be described as paranoia. They might not be, but it’s also possible. Switching between providers often causes a lapse in medication.
Request your records and see what it says. You can request it be amended if it’s inaccurate information and you can report the provider to their licensing board if it’s inaccurate and they refuse to remove it.
If you are in the USA- there is a protection and advocacy place- Disability Rights- that can help you with this. They can request records if you are unable to get them yourself and see what they can do to help rectify it situation.
You should be able to request your records so you know what was said.
Many states have prescription drug monitoring databases where prescribers scan access all labs done and meds prescribed to a patient. In the DC metro area it’s called CRISP.
I’ve always thought the data was limited to schedule II drugs but it’s not. Patients can opt out of part of the monitoring but not the prescription drug part. I’m not sure how long this program/system had been around but I do know that no physician has ever disclosed this to me.
