Writing Notes

If you have difficulty bringing things up or starting a conversation, do you write it down beforehand? I've done this once and it was a huge help. And even though my T recommended I do it again, it stresses me out! Like, how long should it be? What's to long? Am I jumping wound to much? If I read it, do I sound ridiculous since I'm emotionless?
What do you writers do??

I do it every week
The unfortunate part is, it does take out the emotions for me.

The good thing is, It helps me sort my thoughts, because I usually blank when I'm there, without it, id say nothing really.

There is no rules on it, its up to you. Typically I write a list all week, then the night before, i look over it again, cross off things that seem not important anymore and go with the rest.

Sometimes I wrote pretty long notes to T. She asked me to email them so she could read it ahead of time and process it.

With Emdr t. I make notes that I read just before I go into my appointment. There was one letter I wrote. It was a couple of pages typed. She asked if I wanted to read it to her out loud. I asked her to read it to herself and then we could discuss.she did and she started to respond after the paragraph. I asked her to finish reading first. It worked really well and said I am welcome to do it anytime.

As for length I think if you bring it to your appointment it can be however long you want it to be since it is your appointment

I write notes to my T nearly every week. She didnt used to mind but now I think it gets on her nerves. The thing is I hand it to her to read then we go over it. If i dont write a note to T i feel the session doesnt go anywhere since I hsve alot of questions.

Thats what I do too.

yes I've started writing notes on my phone and then giving my phone to t to read them... and then we discuss

Sometimes I will write out a letter to my T between sessions. It helps me gather my thoughts. I may or may not give it to my T to read but it helps me know what is important to discuss in session and what can wait. Sometimes just getting it out onto paper and out of me is the helpful part.
