I would worry how harmful it would be to be outside of the office. One, for confidentiality reasons. Two, if the client is using them as a way to be hyper aware/nit pick the session, that is not therapeutic. My goal would be to work with the client on how we can build our relationship to the point that they feel heard in session.
The confidentiality belongs to the client. I don't think I am trying to nitpick anything. I am trying to get reassurance I either misheard something that is bothering me from the appointment and I can let it go or so I can go in with evidence if I am not believed whe I bring it up. The t I am seeing does not have a problem with it, so I am going to try it to see if it helps my anxiety level over dealing with her. I will report back. I am surprised that only a couple of people here have tried it.
