I forget so much too, and it is really annoying. In my training, we actually videotape, which is nice, but it also leads to forgetting, because you get used to having that backup. (Hm, wonder if that's related to my forgetting my own therapy...have to think about that...). For some clients, knowing they are being recorded is blocking. They get self-conscious. But I suppose if you are the one doing the recording, and if it's in an unobtrusive place, then it might not be so bad.
I don't take notes, and I don't think I'd like to, as I think it would disrupt the flow...."Dr. T...what was that piece of brilliance again? Wait, hang on...."
Actually, I am exaggerating, but I think it would be too distracting for me.
Good luck whatever you decide...
