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've had T's that took notes and my current T does not. I really prefer a T to not take notes during the session. My current T took notes in the first session, but hasn't done so since. I find it very distracting when the T is taking notes, and it feels like there's a barrier between me and T when they are writing notes. My current T has a great memory, but she told me that she also does notes after a session if she needs to. I've never had to repeat any part of my story to my current T.
