ABSTRACT
As with any therapeutic intervention, there are drawbacks to encouraging clients to listen to recordings of their therapy sessions. A small minority of clients, for example, may disturb themselves about the sound of their voice. If this happens, you might try encouraging them to use REBT while listening to their voice, but in our experience this does not work, at least initially. Whenever your clients become overly preoccupied with how they sound or how they may have come across to you in the session, to the extent that they do not learn from listening to the session recording, it may be helpful to suggest that they stop recording the sessions, at least temporarily, and perhaps make written records instead.
