>Because I've never done it. I mean recorded a conversation I had with anyone. Oh, there's an interesting new subject.<
I used to send "letters" back and forth with penpals that were cassette tapes. It was so neat to get an hour of "talk" from my penpal, and then to record messages back. We'd probably take about a month to do the tapes. It was sooo cool. Of course, this was long before the internet.
I also remember recording a night when I was partying with a guy friend. We had been drinking a lot, and we were past the point of no return. Ha! But listening to that tape was horrible!!! I sounded so odd. I sounded so unsure of myself. My laugh didn't have the strength I thought it did. I just sounded so weak and confident-less. And it wasn't the drink....that was me. Ugh. I sounded the way I thought I actually was...but have always tried to cover up.
As for taping a therapy session, I think it would be good idea....for me. Everyone is different though. But I find that I don't follow the conversation very well when I'm with someone. I think it's just too stressful. So hearing it played back would give me the opportunity to make notes as to what I want to discuss next time. And record THAT session as well, because I'm not going to follow it in real time! Lol!
