I only picked "Never" because occasionally seemed like too much. My therapist has taken some notes in sessions, but it was only maybe a few minutes total each time (out of over an hour) and I believe it wasn't more than 4 or 5 sessions that he's done that (out of four years). Most of those notes were in the beginning when he needed to remember basic stuff about my family. One other time he really wanted to remember something, I think. & another time he was actually taking notes when he asked me what I would do if I were seeing a client like me (I wasn't even seeing any clients then - that actually felt like a compliment, that he wanted to use my ideas with me and others).

I wouldn't want to see a therapist who takes a lot of notes during session. I feel it breaks the interpersonal connection.

When I saw a Jungian therapist, she wrote down my dreams (bad idea since I have very long, detailed dreams, but she worked hard and wrote fast!). That didn't seem to break our connection, but it was a different type of connection than I had with other Ts.
