My T takes notes but not so many that it's distracting. I'm always surprised at the level of detail she remembers considering that she doesn't seem to write much! I think it's more that she writes the important stuff but does so inconspicuously and then fills in more details later once I've left.

But I've seen her notes before - she showed me for a couple of reasons - and it was mainly just details. Things that have happened, reactions I've had to things etc. She wasn't writing down things directly that I've said, it was just dot points. I assume so she can keep track of her clients and because I think she actually has to keep a file on clients.

Do you think you could ask your T to see some of her notes? Most T's are pretty open with notes and I think they should be - it's your session and your information and your life. Maybe it would help you to feel less scared or uncomfortable about it if you knew what sort of things she was writing. And like farmergirl suggested, maybe an idea is just to talk to her about it in general. Maybe she could limit what she writes in sessions (just enough to jog her memory) and then fill in the blanks after your session is over?
