That news clipping gg put up started me thinking.
Do you ever tape your therapy sessions? Do you do it secretly?
The last 2 therapists I saw, I asked their permission to tape the sessions, and I sometimes did so. My plan was to play the tapes and transcribe them (!), to make sure I was getting as much out of the sessions and not forgetting any gems the T might've given me.
Both agreed to it without any problem.
But sometimes, I would bring the recorder, but I'd be afraid to take it out and use it, even though they'd approved it. I really appreciated that the one T offered me an extension cord and said if my recorder didn't work well, I could use one of his!
I was sort of afraid that they would think I was taping them so I could later sue them or something, which was not it at all.
