What do psychologists write in their notebook? Can I ask to read it?

Yo! Some psychologists jot down thoughts, observations, and experiences in their notebooks and some keep a diary or journal for noting down quotes and personal memories. If you ask a psychologist to let you read their notes, they might hit you with a psychological question like "If you could read my notebook, would you be able to handle the truth?" Or they may ask you, "Do you trust me?".

If you're nervous about awkwardness, just remember that psychologists are trained in dealing with all kinds of interpersonal interactions, so chances are they'll know exactly how to handle your request. Stay calm, don't panic, and just be yourself! Good luck! 🤞
