Anyone else have to do this? Sit down with a patient and have a "therapeutic conversation," then later type out everything that was said, the body language used by both patient and SN during the interview, then your evaluation of yourself, whether you asked the "right" questions or not. I'm a little intimidated by this...I hate making an ass out of myself in front of other people. lol

Unless your PR's are different than the ones I had to do, then remember it's just a snapshot out of the time you spent with the client. I never asked a client if we could talk and I never made a 'date' to talk later. I just made myself available, and coalesced (*sp) into their world. Then when i got home, i remembered a key thing that brought on one or more conversations and wrote about that. You will not remember it verbatim unless you take notes or have an excellent memory. I was very concerned over my entire psych rotation, but turned out to be my favorite so far.
