My therapist takes copious notes throughout my session. I haven't seen these but I know that she frequently writes down what I say because sometimes she'll quote me. I hate hearing my own words.
She didn't used to take notes at all. She started with me during a period when things were pretty bad - I think when she decided we needed to look more closely at my past. She told me the other day that now she takes notes throughout all of her sessions because she wasn't getting enough time between sessions to record things adequately and was forgetting things too easily.
Sometimes I don't like it that she's constantly taking notes particularly when I find myself slowing down some to give her time to write. Mostly now I'm used to it and at least she's not looking at me constantly which I didn't like either.
