I had seen two Ts (each for only one session) before her and when I got to her, during our first session, I said that she was different than the other ones and said "You don't take notes?" She explained that she doesn't usually unless she is particularly scattered that day and immediately followed that up with, "Would that bother you?" I told her no (because I really was just asking out of my own curiosity). I asked because I guess I notice weird things like that, but I think I scared her off from taking notes in my presence  . Do you guys think that's weird, or is it a pretty normal thing for Ts not to take notes during a session?
What do all your Ts do in respect to note taking? Do you like it/hate it? I guess even though my T isn't actively taking notes before me, I can still tell that she is listening and I am being heard, so I guess it doesn't bother me so much.

My T only takes notes every so often... and I notice it and it makes me wonder what is so special or wrong with what I just said ...it does distract me when he starts to take notes in the middle of me talking.
