I first saw my T eight years ago when there were 3 major traumas at the same time. It was a short course of therapy so I could just hang on and get my life back on track, then I didn't see him again until 6 months ago when one if the issues came back. Now we're doing long-term work to make sure it never comes back.

Anyway, after we started up again it was obvious he didn't remember the other two traumas, and he'd since switched offices and the old records had been destroyed. So one of the traumas I had to remind him about and the other one is still not mentioned. In a way I'm glad his memory is bad, because it's almost like I get a fresh start, but then a part of me is all"Ugh... I can't believe I have to tell him all over again"

And my T has also used the phrase "impressionistic memory" to describe himself
