Same here. I set my phone to record while I'm in the waiting room, and then I don't think about it again until after my appointment is over.
If my T ever found out I was recording, I think our relationship is strong enough that she would ask me to explain my need for the recordings, and would understand my reasoning.
I started doing it after several sessions where I totally distorted what T said. It was helpful for me to go back and listen to the conversation later and hear what she was actually saying, rather than what I heard during session. I still bring these things up with T, so that we can talk about the distortions.
