I meant no offense. Perhaps I am a bit cynical. The therapy room just seems so insulated - much more so than most work settings. And certainly the people I come across at work don't seem eager to showcase their flaws. Neither do I for that matter. Even though flaws are pretty visible no matter what level of experience you have.
On the other hand, having my sessions tape recorded is so far from what I'd accept that it didn't even come to mind. My therapist once had a tape recorder sitting in his room, clearly not running and with no tape in it, and I still asked him to unplug it. Trust is not easy for me. Trusting a tape recorder would be impossible. I even checked for the longest time that he took minimal notes.
Me? Paranoid?

I have heard about videotaped sessions, so I do know they happen.
