No. I suppose I probably should ask, but I want to record the honest conversation, with no censoring on anyone's behalf. I don't censor myself when I'm recording. If I were using the recordings for any purpose other than just to remind myself of what happened, I would probably ask permission. However, I really only use them to review what was said, take notes, and then delete. When I'm paying attention, I have a very good memory and could just as easily go back to my car after a session and write down, word for word, what was said. Recordings are for when I am really struggling to take it all in.
