Leah123 – I agree with you 100 % and have stated so in a previous post. I do believe it puts a question mark on the relationship. But, continuously on this forum people make the decision to record without consent, so that is why I put the question out there. It's just my curiosity, only. I had consent of my therapist (several hundred hours worth of recordings), and also, she says they are mine to do what I want. I did not tape family sessions, because I did not ask, and I know my kid would have said, no.

stopdog – Thank you for the link. I read this several years back, dealing with divorce issues. I am not good at understanding legal matters, and the more I read the side discussions I keep coming up with wiggle-room scenarios when applying it to therapy.

Brown Owl – I know for me, it would have sullied the relationship. I am glad I was not to shy or embarrassed to ask her. My ex thera taped her own sessions for six years, and used them to process her therapy. That is also how I used my recorded sessions.
