The provider is there to support you, but you’ll need to get involved. Ask questions, ask for clarifications, and take notes, if you find it helpful. If you’re doing a form of therapy where note-taking isn’t possible, such as physical labor, which focuses on the relationship between physical sensations and the mind, enlist the help of a provider. “Ask if they can help you summarize during the last few minutes of your session,” Shabazz said. “Or have a notebook on hand and write down takeaways after you leave.”
