what do you guys do when you're listening to your session? i find it very hard to just sit there and listen because the sessions are so long... but if I do anything else I am distracted very easily and I miss the full potential of information i could get from the tapes.

so what do you guys do?

You just make yourself sit there and listen.

I would listen to my tapes (actually I had the CD's) when I went walking. That was my favorite way to listen to them. But I would also listen as I cleaned the house and raked leaves, etc. I had a portable CD player and wore a fanny pack around my waist to put it in and my hands were free to do anything. Sometimes, I would park at the park and just listen with the car off and watch people as I listened.

i listen at lunch... I take my lunch to work and I park on the bottom level of garage..(not as much traffic) I have a portable dvd player and i put in ear phones and listen while I eat lunch.... I only get 30 minutes so I dont get thru the cd all at once.. I also write in my journal at this time....

I may try listening to the CDs during my lunch break at work, Loretta. Thanks for the idea.

I am a 911 dispatcher and that 30 minutes is the quickest all day. We work 12 hr shifts and they get long sometimes

I just want to say that I found a great place to listen to my tapes! In the bathtub! I light a bunch of candles and I turn off the lights, put on a facemask and sit back and listen.. It works VERY well!

Unfortunately I cant listen to the whole tape, due to the fact that I would turn into a prune.
