I was in the car quite a bit today and was thinking about just this topic. My therapist took a lot of notes during the first session, which I expected. She now regularly takes notes throughout most sessions. I feel like she's engaged in the conversation, and although I don't think it distracts me often, I am cognizant when she is writing because I know I must have just said something "important" or insightful. She never takes notes during any chit chatting, when I'm making sarcastic comments, or sitting there quietly thinking. I also have a pretty good idea when my treatment plan must be due for the insurance company because she always asks casually how I have been feeling in general and updates on how I have been sleeping, concentrating, etc.


Has anyone asked if they could read their notes? What was the therapist's response?
