And it is really frustrating because I know she said important stuff and I remember liking it but it's gone...

So, one thing I'm trying to do is to slow down. I'm usually feeling a bit of a rush because I have my list of things I want to talk about and I try to plow through them.

The downside of that is that I'm not as 'present' as I should be. So, now, I try to slow down, listen and take notes. I've also asked T to make sure I've heard her and internalized it and have made notes to refer to later.
you do such a good job with your note-taking. that would be one way to pay more attention, keep the pace slower too perhaps and have something to help you remember later when you are processing.....
