~/.bash_sessionsis a folder used to store the history of past bash sessions. Apparently the permissions are wrong (however this happened), there are several ways to tackle this:rm -r ~/.bash_sessionsDeletes the whole folder, should get recreated with the next Terminal tab/window you opensudo chown -R $USER ~/.bash_sessions; chmod 700 ~/.bash_sessionsTries to fix permissions (sudoonly works if you have an account with admin privileges)
