Years ago when it was the first few sessions, she took notes. She showed them to me. They were just things like names of my family members, ages when different abuse happened.nothing bad at all.
However i told her about my phobia of having things written down and she stopped altogether. And we know each other well enough now that she has memorized everything anyway. It always still surprises me when she is able to tell me things that she remembers, such as the name of my favorite uncle, or the names of my sister’s children, etc.
