I have taped every one of my sessions for the past 2 years. I asked in the first session if I could tape them and he thought it was a good idea. I listen over and over all week. I tend to dissociate when I'm in the session so by taping them I can remember what went on when I'm by myself and more relaxed. It has helped to have them taped so I can go back to him and clarify something that I didn't understand or reinforce something I really needed to hear. It has cut down on phone calls and texts to him during the week because I feel like I can soak up more of the caring when I'm listening.
