| 0:00.0 | In letting a therapist know that you're under a lot of scrutiny, they may kind of keep the progress notes relatively minimal and just the need to know information and keep anything that's more specific that they need to keep track of in their process notes that aren't in the record. |
| 0:14.0 | Hey everybody, before we start the show, I want to make a couple disclaimers. |
