We did taping for our communication paper - had to tape a therapeutic interaction but it was with a drama student not a real patient. So it is a normal thing, it is a part of thier training but you are totally allowed to say no. Be aware that it mght be viewed by thier tutor. it is all confidential of course. Me personally I wouldn't! Not for this type of stuff anyway I guess the only real reason to go through ACC is for your treatment to be paid for. If you can afford to pay for it, or receive free/subsidised treatment elsewhere then that's cool too. I think the advantage of non-ACC is

I got my first counsellor through the Rape Crisis centre, they set it up. I only saw her for a few sessions then stopped when I was due to have my second bub.

The ups and downs have been; personally, having to face this stuff and talk about it which I never have before, bringing out many memories and stuff like that. I have gone through stages of not wanting to go through this process anymore and feel it would be easie
