yes my therapy sessions are video and audio recorded both because I want them to be and because my therapist likes to record sessions.

it benefits me because I dont always remember everything we go over in therapy. plus its very easy in the heat of the moment to think I heard one thing and it turned out my therapist has said or suggested or meant something completely different. by having the sessions fully recorded both my therapist and I can look back on our sessions on our own time (not in the therapy sessions)

on my therapists end she works with dissociatives among other types of mental disorders. by recording the sessions she does not have to stop and say "hold on let me write this down." she can deal with the problem at hand and still have a complete record for herself, me or her other clients.
