I'd love to have had the last year of my therapy recorded. But if I did, where the heck would I put them all? I wouldn't want anyone to have access but me...and there'd probably never be enough storage space. I haven't done so in months, but I used to dissociate, and it would be very interesting to have those recordings to see exactly what was going on during that time, how I was, how I went into "that place," and how my T reacted. In the most difficult sessions, I don't remember all that was said, but up until the past three months (I just started again last week) I kept a therapy journal. Just wrote about what we talked about, how I felt, etc. Since I've been considering terminating, it's been interesting going back to those first few sessions and reading how I felt/thought. I also started going back through my first posts here, since I joined here when I first started seeing my T. That, too, has been interesting. But having those sessions recorded would be pretty neat to read back on now.

I do have to say, I always wondered if she was recording mine. I have no reason to think she would....but she doesn't take notes (not during the session anyway). But I know legally, she could if she wanted to. But I brushed it off, figuring there's NO WAY she would ever have time to listen to those again....
