That sounds quite disconcerting. Have you ever talked to her about it? Or asked to see what she is writing? Mine has read what he wrote the previous week if I ask, although we do discuss why I'm asking. That wouldn't be a bad thing though in this case, I'm thinking.
My therapist writes a teensy bit, but I'd find it distracting if he wrote a lot. And I have no experience with a therapist who agrees with everything I say (grin), so I can't imagine what her purpose would be.
Do you know what her orientation is? The spacing seems too far apart for her to be an analyst. It doesn't sound like CBT or supportive therapy. Knowing that might let you make a few guesses. Asking directly would give you a better chance of understanding, though.
Do you feel you have a good therapeutic relationship, a strong therapeutic bond?
