Apparently this isn't happening then. However, are you able to request that your Therapist might do this? What if you were to keep your own notes; if not during the sessions, immediately following.
It seems to me that possibly too much time is being spent at a session going over what happened at the last.

My T doesn't write down a summary (actually none of my T's have done that). The issue I'm having is can usually remember the general outline of the session but I have difficulty remember the exact words used and how they connected the different topics.
I don't really feel too much time is being spent going over the previous session. I usually have a bunch of reflections/thoughts/feelings that come up after session and I like to talk to T about them. Also, the whole "no one is enough for me" thing came up towards the end of a session and I wasn't really done discussing it so I wanted to continue with that topic in my next session. When I have "gaps" I'll just ask T to "refresh my memory" and we then continue on with whatever the topic is.
