I really do like the fact they do not have to look down and I do not have to wonder what they are writing and get distracted by it, but is taking some notes or being fully present w/o taking notes better for treatment? |
i think whats best for treatment is what works for the therapist, honestly. i have a really great memory and i only take notes on days when im feeling especially distractable. i also know really great therapists whose memories are not so great, so they need to take notes. either way its just about jotting down key words to cue/jog the memory.
i think that i would prefer a therapist to take notes and remember things so i dont have to repeat myself, rather than not take notes and have me waste time re-telling things
