I would not be able to handle a therapist taking notes by hand/ via computer while I’m speaking. Firstly, it’s rude. Patients deserve their therapist’s full attention and that includes eye-to-eye contact. Secondly, if a therapist is incapable of remembering what I have to say then they are worthless to me. Thirdly, who in the hell asks a patient “why” they want to be depressed? I’m sorry, but this woman’s approach/ behavior raises a lot of red flags that shouldn’t be overlooked.
Best of luck.
