Ex-T would have a notepad in front of her and just occasionally write something down. I asked her about it once, and she said sometimes it was just noting how I seemed, like "Seems anxious" or "depressive affect." Or she'd write something to follow up on the next week. But that still made me feel awkward when she did write something, like, "Wait, why is she writing down that random thing I said?"

My former p-doc drove me nuts because I swear she was writing every word I said sometimes, to the point that I'd have to stop to give her a chance to catch up!
