anyone try recording monologues and playing them back?

I don't have insurance right now, but I could really use therapy. I remember when I did prolonged exposure treatment, we would record sessions. I'd listen to them at home as part of the therapy.

What are your experiences with listening to yourself in session?

Has anyone tried recording yourself talk about memories, symptoms, just whatever's bothering you and listening to it?

That’s not the medium I learn and process best in... but I have a few friends who do. The difference for them in anything aural? Is huge. Whether it’s a book on tape, or making voice memos, or listening to recorded sessions (of practically anything) is... astronomical... compared to any other version of writing, seeing, doing. Audio learners. They need to hear it for it to be real to them.

Well, it's the fact that it's your own voice, and you're examining your thoughts from the outside rather than have them just running through your head. I'm wondering if that can help unbundle some stuff, or whatever.
