My T is good at remembering the general topics, but sometimes forgets the little details. It is frustrating to me, but I have to remember that my view on the "importance" of a detail can be very different than his view. He has even asked why "this" is bothering me so more than "that" regarding details. He also said that he focuses a lot on the mood of the session. He has never really forgotten anything major, it is hard sometimes to repeat the specific details of a trauma memory that I'm struggling with when he has remembered other details from the same conversation. Not sure if I'm making sense...it's just some of the things I really struggle with seem minor when you look at the whole picture, I don't really "choose" what element is holding me back and sometimes he is surprised that out of the context of the whole story, I've managed to resolve what he views as the biggest obstacle and am stuck on something that he thinks was less traumatic.
