I saw an intern that only took notes during the first session. I have an Asperger's T who has never took any notes whatsoever. My current T likes to take notes. Sometimes she writes her fingers off. Sometimes she don't write anything. At first it was a distraction. I was assuming that she was writing symptoms that she could use for disgnosis. Then I had unrealistic thoughts that she was writing what I said down so that she could try to catch me in a hypocritical moment and call me out on it. It felt like she was devising a plan against me (which wasn't the case). Now, I feel ok about her writing. It makes me think what I'm talking about is important and interesting to her and that she cares enough about me to want to remember it in the future.

T's generally see alot of clients. It's harder for some to remember than others. The one's that don't write during the session do so afterwards as soon as they can. I looked at case notes from the intern. It really didn't have anything in there about our conversation. It was more clinical stuff to be used for diagnosis.
