How would you reply?

I recently asked my therapist for any notes from my sessions regarding when I've discussed a legal matter with them. At first they were going to decline me, but then said they did find notes on the subject from my sessions. However they were vague. So I recently emailed her asking for a few lines or statements concerning the specific legal issue I've been going through. They replied, Could we discuss it at my next session?

To me, that causes anxiety, that's why I email more intricate questions, to anyone in my life. I'm not sure how to reply, I really don't want to go over it in person, they could decline me to not include their statement.
Do I just ask again in a message asking the specific line I might need? I just have a feeling they'll decline it in person.

What are your expectations of them? Most therapists are trained to write notes in such a way that it is a challenge to use in a legal process because of the high tendency for people to exploit that. I’m not saying you are at all. You may just need to adjust your expectations of the weight your therapist can give to the legal issue.
