When my ts take notes they are just writing down things that I have said that they want to remember. T3 and T2 often ask me to rate things on a scale of 1-10 and write down what I say. T1 writes down what parts show up, what their issues are, how we work toward a solution. T3 writes down where in body I feel things so she can refer back to it in that session; that allows her to watch very carefully and focus on what is happening rather than on what I said earlier.

I don't think any of my Ts write down things that would be hurtful or that they don't say out loud.

I don't think their notes would be very interesting. It might be distressing to see how slowly I make progress. I mean, I know it is slow because I have been in therapy almost 10 years. But to see that in writing?
