Well.. I wouldn't have minded if his note-taking wasn't so profuse that it deprived me of therapeutic interaction.

Your therapist's moderate note-taking might be because it was much more common when he was starting out. I think it's been in the last decade or so that more minimal note-taking became the norm. First, because of therapy notes being easier to get by the courts, and second, because of the increased focus on the importance of the therapeutic relationship.
Sorry you had to go through that. I've thought about it, and if I was in that situation I think I'd feel neglected and unimportant--just what I'm in therapy to get over. Like the note-taking in itself was much more important than I was. Ugh. And what good are all those notes if the interaction was being interfered with?

Glad you've moved on.
Thanks for this!
