Since you just started up with this T it sounds like she should be taking notes until she really gets to know you better. I think its good T take some notes but not a lot while you're in session. That would be distracting to me too. Maybe she will let up on the notes after she gets a better handle on you. If not, I might suggest telling her all the note taking is distracting. I did ask my T once or twice NOT to write something down that was very personal. I don't know if he did or not.

I have asked my T on several occasions to see my file but he went ballistic. Don't know why except that he must have written down something really, really, bad about me that he doesn't want me to see. He was so bent out of shape over it that I let up on asking him for now but I still want to see my file. I'm afraid that what he's written is so bad he must feel that I'll leave T if I see my file. I can't imagine what could be so damaging since I'm not a criminal or anything like that.

Thanks for your post Doogie. I hope more people comment about this.
