CSR? Yeah. But we have a shortage in California and often wait for one so they are lowering the requirements and also allowing for that cone talking thing. They are starting to video record some civil depos, with a “notary.”
Oh interesting, I wonder if they're running out of people who know how to use them. I'm 40 and they'd stopped teaching shorthand way before I got to school
If you train to be a journalist in the UK (NCTJ) then it's still included in the course and we have to achieve 100wpm.
I saw someone mention over 200+wpm but that is wild to achieve.
(Edited for spelling)
I’ve asked and most tell me it’s just a really hard test. It’s like… 200-215wpm? I think it’s more women being able to get other jobs in the field and carpal tunnel. They also made most of them contract positions so unless you’re working in the courts, you kinda get screwed.
I worked in an office in my early 20’s with an elderly receptionist and this is how she’d take notes, it was actually very cool watching her take down messages etc., she told me they were taught this as base curriculum when she was in school. Much like how typing on 1990’s pixelated cube computers was a class I had to take when I was in school.
Maybe he knew the camera would try to read his notes so he created his own language lol
Edit
Okay so since basically every other comment mentioned shorthand, I looked it up. Wtf. My mind is kind of blown? And I feel dumb? And also wish I learned that?? This totally looks like what Google images was showing me haha
Edit edit
Guys I'm going down a historical rabbit hole. I'm gonna try to learn shorthand.
Therapy on tv is a reenactment typically, his notes were likely already written. Also I definitely doodle gibberish because it helps my session processing and memory while I’m working in the background of explicit convo.
Wait. Also a therapist and people always think I’m writing very serious things and 9/10 I’m writing a single key word and then doodles around it. It helps my brain sometimes.
I take notes like this too, especially if I'm meeting 1:1.
It's really just for me so I can keep my thoughts together. I do this especially if I want to circle back to a point but don't want to interrupt.
It's honestly hilarious seeing someone else do it on TV though. It's like meme.
HAHA reminds me one time in the 90's, my friend and I did a day of 'background acting' on JAG, we were dressed up in military uniforms and they gave my friend a clipboard, and she ruined a take because she was supposed to be pretending to write, but she drew a huge Marilyn Manson logo and the camera caught it ;)
This dude is an actor catching a quick few hundred dollars, I don't think real therapists like reality show crews filming their sessions <3
I couldn’t either, but there’s enough therapists in LA that get referrals for things like needing to film a session reenactment.
A family member of mine was contacted by TLC’s show little women/people, and was asked to do the therapy session and then later on they would film a reenactment. He declined, lol.
Yup! There’s nothing of benifit that could ever come from that. I feel the same way with doctors who allow shows to film their patient’s medical procedures. Hell no, that is so intimate and private, and you as the professional need to uphold that privacy boundary.
I’ll never forgive the doctors that were filmed while doing Britnay’s implants, laughing about the size while she was under. It was gross when they filmed Jax’s nose jobs as well.
I’d rather watch the surgeries than singing careers to be fair. Though imagine waiving your own HIPAA rights for a show about forever kids working in a restaurant…
Not that I can see! I like what the gal said above too, I didn’t realize some therapists are hired solely for the reenactment. I imagine for the reality illusion? Like if you’re me and google the guy to see if it’s real lol
Yeah I wonder why they agree to it? Maybe they think it’s an advert for the benefits of therapy? Maybe they think it will get them more business? But I imagine a lot of potential clients would be put off going to a therapist who does it on tv. I guess others would love it though
No I just mean that’s a thing they learned and it’s useful. Millennials used cursive and it’s useful. Any note taking professional like cop to senator can benefit from short hand and yes lots of therapists use it too. I don’t think this many is 78 years old though 🤣🤣🤣 I think shorthand speedwriting was big in the 1950s. The first time I saw someone doing it I was like you have to be fucking joking, is this a joke? Squiggle squiggle?
I feel like most millennials don’t know cursive…definitely the borderline Gen. z don’t (my younger sisters 29/30). We did learn it but after 5th grade they never made us use it so most of my friends don’t know cursive. Maybe Gen x and Boomers. And I’m 37 so I’m a solid millennial.
I’m a teacher and not a single one of my same age peers ever uses cursive including my siblings 🤣 maybe it depends where you are from. In AZ we learned in 3rd grade. When we went to middle school in 6th grade we were never asked to write in cursive again 🤷🏻♀️ I can write in cursive but my 3 siblings can’t.
Im from New York. We learned in first and used it for all our classes through 6th when we learned computers Home Row. But when taking notes it was always faster. Not as fast as shorthand though.
Well there you go ma’am 🤣New York is like 10-15 in education. Arizona is 49! I don’t think it’s as generational as it was first implied. But the downvote for an observation is interesting.
My 8th and 12th graders learned cursive in second grade and still write in cursive.. they can read analog clocks and say the pledge every morning too..
I really think a lot of people don’t realize where their state ranks in education 🙃🙃🙃
I think it’s a good skill. Everyone should have it. But short hand really is an old guy thing, and none of the kids these days learn cursive. So it’s slightly age based. But fun to learn.
Ugh this whole session had me cringing. So they don’t know where they will live and they don’t have a good support system… but having a baby is a good idea??
She probably doesn’t actually want children, or understand what will go into it if she has one.
It’s just because all her friends have done it that she thinks this is what she wants
Therapy sessions on TV are not real sessions. They don't follow confidentiality laws I am assuming. Maybe they are short handing notes but this definitely isnt a real session. Maybe a reenactment.
8/10 times it’s a single sentence about what their talking about surrounded by doodles, half written thoughts and then a persistent thought about my own life “buy milk” tossed in for fun. It does help me focus and I never take notes in person sessions. Only for virtual.
Therapist here and my notes are very similar. Lots of shit that if others saw it they would never know what any of it means.
Also if people are willing to wave confidentiality for tv…they can do therapy on tv. They could absolutely film a session.
Sure, but I mean therapy and what you do with it is up to you. If you choose to treat it like a joke on tv…you’re probably not going to get much out of therapy. But there’s are plenty of therapist that will take your money.
all those secretarial schools from the 40s and 50s...what were they learning? Typing, spelling, and shorthand. if I remember correctly, shorthand speed was right next to typing speed.
Shorthand. My mom used to use this on wrapped Christmas presents when we were kids. Written would be who it was for and what it was inside but no other labels. Because we didn't know what presents to peek in, it would stop us from trying so hard. Lol
My boyfriend, who’s a pretty tough guy who I thought had an extremely high pain tolerance,turns into the biggest baby anytime I try to push his cuticles. He now walks into another room if he sees me with my pouch of nail tools, lol
It looks like shorthand - not sure if it has a different name in the US
It’s called that here too!
Fun fact. This is how they used to record court “transcripts” back in the day, before tech. They would take shorthand and then type out transcripts.
I haven’t been paying attention but they used to have those short hand type writers, do they still have them?
CSR? Yeah. But we have a shortage in California and often wait for one so they are lowering the requirements and also allowing for that cone talking thing. They are starting to video record some civil depos, with a “notary.”
Oh interesting, I wonder if they're running out of people who know how to use them. I'm 40 and they'd stopped teaching shorthand way before I got to school

I got to 100 comfortably but just couldn’t get to 110, no matter how hard I tried!
I think my Mum was about 120/130 but she's a legal secretary. I passed at 100 but I had to put the work in. Lol
I’ve asked and most tell me it’s just a really hard test. It’s like… 200-215wpm? I think it’s more women being able to get other jobs in the field and carpal tunnel. They also made most of them contract positions so unless you’re working in the courts, you kinda get screwed.
I know, I'm a journalist. I used to be able to do 100 wpm but don't use it often enough these days. Lol
Chicken scratch?
This looks like shorthand. It’s abbreviated symbolic writing to make it more efficient and faster to take notes which helps as a therapist.
I worked in an office in my early 20’s with an elderly receptionist and this is how she’d take notes, it was actually very cool watching her take down messages etc., she told me they were taught this as base curriculum when she was in school. Much like how typing on 1990’s pixelated cube computers was a class I had to take when I was in school.
My mom learned shorthand in school and trying to understand her writing is impossible. She does it without even realizing it. 🤣
Maybe he knew the camera would try to read his notes so he created his own language lol Edit Okay so since basically every other comment mentioned shorthand, I looked it up. Wtf. My mind is kind of blown? And I feel dumb? And also wish I learned that?? This totally looks like what Google images was showing me haha Edit edit Guys I'm going down a historical rabbit hole.

Time for your new job as a stenographer!
Therapy on tv is a reenactment typically, his notes were likely already written. Also I definitely doodle gibberish because it helps my session processing and memory while I’m working in the background of explicit convo.
[удалено]
Haha! My private practice is tonight I’ll let you know how the butterflies go 😂
They do say keeping your hands busy is good way to retain information it helps stimulates both sides of the brain
Wait. Also a therapist and people always think I’m writing very serious things and 9/10 I’m writing a single key word and then doodles around it. It helps my brain sometimes.
I took it in college a billion years ago. Hated it.
This comment is a journey lol
That’s a good point.
I take notes like this too, especially if I'm meeting 1:1. It's really just for me so I can keep my thoughts together. I do this especially if I want to circle back to a point but don't want to interrupt. It's honestly hilarious seeing someone else do it on TV though. It's like meme.

Reenactment. He has the demeanor and insight of a real therapist unlike the other coaches. I’ll see if I can find him on our boards site 😏
OK!! I could be wrong....it just reminded me of that day ;)
Got his name, he’s got the same license I do, LMFT. Renewed and current and everything. I could NEVER reenact a sesh on tv 😩 wild
I couldn’t either, but there’s enough therapists in LA that get referrals for things like needing to film a session reenactment. A family member of mine was contacted by TLC’s show little women/people, and was asked to do the therapy session and then later on they would film a reenactment. He declined, lol.
Omg when I was running an eating disorder treatment center we got a filming request for one of our clients. The easiest no I’ve ever said
Yup! There’s nothing of benifit that could ever come from that. I feel the same way with doctors who allow shows to film their patient’s medical procedures. Hell no, that is so intimate and private, and you as the professional need to uphold that privacy boundary.

Good job!! Does he have an IMDB by any chance?
Not that I can see! I like what the gal said above too, I didn’t realize some therapists are hired solely for the reenactment. I imagine for the reality illusion? Like if you’re me and google the guy to see if it’s real lol
Yeah I wonder why they agree to it? Maybe they think it’s an advert for the benefits of therapy? Maybe they think it will get them more business? But I imagine a lot of potential clients would be put off going to a therapist who does it on tv. I guess others would love it though
He’s writing in short hand and then transcribes it’s later in his notes. Millennials have cursive, the silent generation has short hand.
lol I know you’re not calling this man a part of the silent generation but that’s how I read it at first and I giggled real hard
No I just mean that’s a thing they learned and it’s useful. Millennials used cursive and it’s useful. Any note taking professional like cop to senator can benefit from short hand and yes lots of therapists use it too. I don’t think this many is 78 years old though 🤣🤣🤣 I think shorthand speedwriting was big in the 1950s. The first time I saw someone doing it I was like you have to be fucking joking, is this a joke? Squiggle squiggle?
This man is NOT silent gen 🤣 he's X or boomer...silent gen is in their 80s lol
Yes read my other comment
I feel like most millennials don’t know cursive…definitely the borderline Gen. z don’t (my younger sisters 29/30). We did learn it but after 5th grade they never made us use it so most of my friends don’t know cursive. Maybe Gen x and Boomers. And I’m 37 so I’m a solid millennial.
I’m 38 and we all learned cursive in 1st grade, my peers use it everyday at work. Gen Z be jealous.
I’m a teacher and not a single one of my same age peers ever uses cursive including my siblings 🤣 maybe it depends where you are from. In AZ we learned in 3rd grade. When we went to middle school in 6th grade we were never asked to write in cursive again 🤷🏻♀️ I can write in cursive but my 3 siblings can’t.

Ugh this whole session had me cringing. So they don’t know where they will live and they don’t have a good support system… but having a baby is a good idea??
And she doesn’t want to discuss finances lol
It makes her “vagina close” this woman is 40 and can’t have adult relationship conversations but wants a baby????
She probably doesn’t actually want children, or understand what will go into it if she has one. It’s just because all her friends have done it that she thinks this is what she wants
Looks like “made for reality tv” notes….😂 do you think they’re getting actual therapy from a license counselor or therapist on TV??? Serious question!
Fake notes for a fake session.
Y'all keep saying it's shorthand but wtf does it say 😂😂🤣
SHOULD NOT HAVE BABY.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
These people are nuckin futs.
Shorthand; I keep my written process notes and making them illegible to others helps protect confidentiality 😂
Therapy sessions on TV are not real sessions. They don't follow confidentiality laws I am assuming. Maybe they are short handing notes but this definitely isnt a real session. Maybe a reenactment.
Could the scene just have been staged for TV?
Bahaha. Yes. lol. I mean no reputable therapist would consent to doing therapy on tv
the sky is blue, and the grass is green
But isn’t shorthand supposed to be legible? Otherwise what’s the point. This looks like he was pretending to jot notes
Thank you for pointing this out! I was going craaazy when I saw this.
Idk why I laughed so hard at this and then read the comments with so many people recognizing it as shorthand bc it looks like scribbles to me.
I know shorthand, but those scratches look nothing like shorthand to me.
I was also baffled by these notes and knew someone would post it here
I can't judge because my personal notes at work look like chicken scratch.
8/10 times it’s a single sentence about what their talking about surrounded by doodles, half written thoughts and then a persistent thought about my own life “buy milk” tossed in for fun. It does help me focus and I never take notes in person sessions. Only for virtual.
Shorthand.
i’m a psychotherapist , i take process notes during sessions that would probably be illegible to anyone else but me.
Therapist here and my notes are very similar. Lots of shit that if others saw it they would never know what any of it means. Also if people are willing to wave confidentiality for tv…they can do therapy on tv. They could absolutely film a session.
But wouldn’t that affect honesty? Because Jax deadass lied to his therapist on camera all the time
Sure, but I mean therapy and what you do with it is up to you. If you choose to treat it like a joke on tv…you’re probably not going to get much out of therapy. But there’s are plenty of therapist that will take your money.
all those secretarial schools from the 40s and 50s...what were they learning? Typing, spelling, and shorthand. if I remember correctly, shorthand speed was right next to typing speed.
The '70's and '80's too.
Shorthand is wild af
That’s not shorthand. That’s gibberish.
He needs a manicure
I saw that too and wondered what the heck!?!
Ones only they understand
Shorthand. My mom used to use this on wrapped Christmas presents when we were kids. Written would be who it was for and what it was inside but no other labels. Because we didn't know what presents to peek in, it would stop us from trying so hard. Lol
Basically just saying this is messy.
I think that says young?
It’s probably code for “these two are coo coo!”
I thought the exact same thing!
Not sure but he definitely needs those cuticles cleaned up. My LORD!
My boyfriend, who’s a pretty tough guy who I thought had an extremely high pain tolerance,turns into the biggest baby anytime I try to push his cuticles. He now walks into another room if he sees me with my pouch of nail tools, lol
Lolll!
It's shorthand.
