What i mean is that i can't seem to put together the individual sessions in order to create a feeling inside myself that this is, and has been, a continuous relationship of trust building over time. For some strange reason (particularly after a rupture but other times too), it feels like each session is it's own separate thing and the interactions of that session only belong to that day. Then, the following week, that session is separate. The relationship feels good or bad based on whatever happened at the most recent session. Somehow, i can't see the big picture. So i never do develop a secure attachment based on years worth of separate interactions that i should be able to combine to form a lasting connected relationship. It feels like we keep starting over again.

Does this make sense to anybody? Has anybody had this problem? What would cause this? It's very confusing to me.
I didnt read through the replies on purpose just now before i respond to you. When I started my session today, my first words were "I feel like you forgot me." I often feel like the history I have with someone is as good as the last interaction I had with them. And since I the last time I saw my t was on monday (and today is thursday) I feel like she forgot me. She made a joke and said, "Whats your name again?" I have been coming like 3 or 4 times/wk with my husband, kids and my own individual all summer and this wk was only twice!

I feel like that with a lot of people, not just my t. To build history with someone, especially my t. I dont know what the key is b/c its a huge problem I have too, but maybe if you continue the following session to build on what you were talking about in the previous session it might help.

Now I will go read the insightful replies you got
