lavieenrose, your post made me think about an interesting way to journal that I might try. That is to write about the session right when I get home, then again the next day or the day after, and then again the day before the next session. I am curious to see how much I remember the day before my next session of what I wrote about initially.

I think that the process of therapy doesn't require us to recall all of the session. I used to feel inept because I didn't remember, and sometimes shocked and embarassed when my therapist would refer to something that I had completely forgotten, but now I just accept that it happens.
