Dear Colleen,
the subject of session admin - as done in the Church - had been
always a great horror for me. I regarded it as overly complicated,
time consuming, extremely formalized and full of redundancy.
What may sound here as harsh criticism of Hubbard's admin tech. is
not meant to be so. I'm well aware that this was my personal problem
or button involved with administration, forms a.s.o. in general - and
a rather charged up area on my part.
Further one has to understand that the volume and kind of session paper
work is much determined by the kind of auditing, usage of a meter or not,
solo session or auditing others, auditing being delivered in the framework
of a larger organization, auditing delivered for creating income, ...
I just mention this in order to give the reader a little background.
And I want to clearly state that the following is not meant to be a advice
_how_ to do the admin. However, I'm convinced that any auditing should
be documented one way or other. I give you a short write-up of how I do
that with TROM.
Since I'm a lazy guy and my handwriting is terrible (I do not seriously
mean that ;-)
I prefer to keep notes in electronic form. I use a small hand held
computer running a
database APP on which I can make my notes. The date, start of session time,
end of session time is automatically inserted by the system and duration is
automatically calculated thereof. I insert time-stamps at significant
points
of the session manually. This looks a little like a log-book finally.
I make my own c/s for every session. That includes: what to run, sometimes
the precise
wording of the commands, occasionally when I use a new process I add short
notes
regarding the procedure - for reference sake in case of any doubt during
the
session. I mark the commands with letters or numbers in front of them.
This saves
much typing later in the session because I only note down the assigned
numbers or
letters as the session goes along.
The c/s for the next session I write usually shortly after the end of a
session.
I copy/paste it as header to the actual session log then, where it serves
as a kind of
R-factor to myself.
Besides the time and process commands I note down any changes that occur
(emotional,
physical, perceptional, ...), significant thoughts, cognitions,
postulates, ...
For tone and mood changes I use the same numbers that Ron Hubbard uses in
the Tone
Scale. I found out that the numbering system is not only shorter in
writing but one
can also use it directly to create a long-term (over the weeks or months)
statistic
of how the tone-level develops during processing.
When I end my session I take on the hat of the Examiner for a moment and
write down
my indicators, a short comment how the session went. I pick up the cans of
my e-meter
and note down TA and needle pattern. (I omit this last point with TROM now
since I've
found out that the meter can't tell me anything I'd not know before).
For the really good wins and cogs I use separate medium for writing them
up. This has
more the character of a diary and is not at all formalistic. I use a word
processor
or alternatively paper and pen. Often my notes contain diagrams or
sketches and I'm
much faster to symbolize my stream of thoughts in the "old-fashioned" way.
Besides
that the realizations often occur with some delay to the session or in the
middle of
the night (similar to dreams) and paper and pen is faster at hand as a
computer.
To that file I also add ideas and occurrences of the day which may be
interesting
for being targeted in auditing.
My own experience, with writing up what had happened in session or of
realizations, is
that the process of symbolizing the stuff in written form in itself has a
positive
therapeutic effect and can consolidate a win considerably.
The robustness and simplicity of hand written notes in general is in my
opinion a great
feature. The complex IT technology and the dependencies thereof are a
disadvantage.
To have your notes in digitized form is advantageous if your notes are
rather
voluminous and you want to have them with you any time. Further the
copy/paste function
saves time, you can use encryption of sensible personal data, backups are
easy to
produce and you can make use of all kind of search-functionalities your PC
system
offers you.
I guess it finally is a matter of personal taste how and with which tools
you do your
session admin - as long as you can keep track of your progress. If you can
do it all in
your mind it would be most elegant.
In case of auditing someone else, you face some additional requirements and
responsibilities. Since those are not relevant for TROM I'm not going into
this any
further.
I sincerely hope you can get some inspiration out from the above.
Success to all of you
Robin

Thank you, Robin for going to the time and effort to keep in the basics
so
that clearing sessions can run smoothly. Making one's own sentences with
the words used in the Trom commands in the way they were meant to be
conceived is very helpful to one's certainty that they "got it". I think
it contributes to being able to enter a session with a positive attitude.
Thanks too for the good advices re "change occurring". Mis-steps can
occur
there too.
BTW, do you also have any advices for note-keeping or what in the Church
was called Session Admin? For example, I'm liking steno-pad sized
notebooks with the line down the middle and canary colored paper.
