If you have...
Did your T know?
If not, did you tell your T later?
Did you listen to it again?
Did you listen to it too much, like in an unhealthy way?
Did you find it helpful to hear again?
Did you share it with anyone?

I only have once and t knew. it was a hypnosis session over a pretty touchy topic. it was pretty in depth and I wanted to remember everything I said. I transcribed it. I think I only read it once after that.

I regret i didnt do it because sometimes i just want to hear his voiceand if i recorded when he says nice words to me it would be so healing for me.
I recorded session when i was drunk and overdosed xanax because i knew i wont remember anything but i cant hear my ts voice in this recording just mine. He sits far away from me and talk silently.
I dont tell him about it because i dont want to make him worried. I did it just to remember what i said because that session was black hole.

I've had sessions recorded as part of research on group work. But i've never actively recorded a session between myself and a professional - i have no desire too and even if i did what would be the point? My experiences are usually bad and i don't need to be reminded of them.

I don't know if your post relates to something you've done personally but if this something you're doing/have done without the express consent of the other person - please be very careful. No one can tell you what to do but i would hate for the relationship between yourself and T to become more complicated. Gentle hugs

No I haven't done it but I have thought about it. I would get his permission first because I find myself unable to keep secrets from him. I would eventually have to confess! :roll eyes: I don't have sessions that are about digging up the past really. My therapy is more focused on the now so there's a lot of "advise," common sense, positive words, & mindful stuff given to me. I just wondered if listening to it a second time would be helpful. I feel like I miss some of the things he says sometimes. I also question if I would some how use it in an unhealthy manner. Listen too much or something. Listen just because I miss him.

What about keeping notes of what he says? That might be a good way of then asking him to repeat stuff is necessary? You can also keep track of your mood throughout the appointment and see what triggers the feelings of attachment more easily? Could be a good way of working on it?

Wow. That's another great idea from you. Thank you!

I just saw my T and asked him if I could record a session. He said sure. His only remarks was that he wasn't sure if it would be useful and he worried that "it might get into the wrong hands."
