Quote:
My T does not take notes, except when I share a dream.
She knows me well and sometimes remembers things I don't remember .
But when she was involved in a class this past year, I was her volunteer client and she took notes for about 6 -8 weeks during my twice-weekly sessions. At first it was odd, then it was interesting because I felt like what I was saying was SOOO important, that she had to record it When she stopped (happily, because she doesn't like taking notes), it was another adjustment. For one, I had to get used to more eye contact than we had been having, and I didn't have that bit of time to think/relax as she was writing. It's now back to 'normal' and it was an interesting to experience.

weird.. except for the part about being the "volunteer client," i could have written this word for word! my therapist is the same way: takes notes on dreams only, and about a year ago took notes for class that she was taking. and like you, it also took me some time to get used to eye-contact again afterward
