Oh yeah, as you might have read, I recorded my last session without my T's knowledge and I feel pretty bad because of that so I wouldn't recommend that... I'll have the chance to tell my T about it next time but if it's your last session... If you really want to record, you can ask at the beginning but there is always a chance that she refuses... Would you like to be recorded without your knowledge? I guess no one would want it.. If you are only afraid that the whole session will be weird because you ask her at the beginning, maybe you could record and at the end of the session tell your T that you did it, for the first time, why you did it and why you did not tell her at the beginning and ask her if you could keep that record or if you should delete it... But if your T insists to delete I would do that... That's just my idea but I'm not sure if it's helpful anyhow...
