In reply to Therapist's Notes, posted by dissociativejane on December 4, 2003, at 9:07:11
I asked my therapist yesterday what he was writing in his notes and what he actually DID with the notes.
He said after each session he dictates the notes into some sort of voice recognized software program on his computer. The written notes are kept in my file and he apparently reviews them before every appointment, although a lot of times I really don't think that is true since I'll bring up something from the last session and he'll sometimes have NO idea what I'm talking about.
So then half way through our session yesterday he started telling me exactly what he was writing down as he was writing it down which got to be pretty annoying. Things like "patient dealing better with marital situation" or something like that. I told him after 5 minutes of this that he didn't need to continue telling me!
