I find it helpful, because there are times when I am so anxious that I dissociate and I can't take in what my T is saying. I can hear the words, but don't always process them. Recording lets me replay those sessions and actually process what is being said rather than just the overwhelming feelings I was having. Also, if it's a session where I'm getting a lot of information (like the one where she reviewed my assessment results with me), it's helpful to record so I can review what she's told me.

Usually, I will transcribe the important parts of a session in to my journal and then delete the recording.
do they know you are recording?
