I just want to get this thought out of my head! Well, 2 thoughts!

It might be a really great idea to have a record of the session and I know people who do this with their classes, to have a copy of lecture. The only element that I feel like complicates it is, if the T did it back, that might almost feel like a violation. So although it is a good idea, I am a little wary of that aspect of it.

The other thing is I don't know if other people have this experience but sometimes when I read a book or go to a movie, it will seem really different the second time around because I might be in a totally different frame of mind. .I think a lot of the things that really affect us in session are the unspoken things, that come from our expectations about what should transpire, or the whole tone of the therapy. So it might be harder to put our finger on what the problem really is when that occurs. A tape might not really catch "it" (and if it's that blatent maybe it's time to switch Ts). I think that's why it's so important to trust your feelings and impressions about what is going on with a T.

Stopdog, you must have been going through a really hard time! Just thank good ness that it's over now. You don't ever have to see a bad T again and luckily you know how to spot that kind of thing!
