The spectrum of therapists is wild. The first person I ever talked to (technically a counselor because she was still in training) was like the therapist in this comic. She was constantly scribbling down stuff. I don’t even know what she did with it because I only met her two or three times. Then I went to a different therapist who never took notes during our session. I guess he took notes afterwards, but never while I was there.

Maybe he did it that way because seeing someone take notes about you can make you uncomfortable, like in this comic. Or maybe clients see note-taking as “I said something good (or bad)”, and then they might (not) say certain things because of that. Or maybe it’s just personal preference, idk.
