But they get to know us, just like a friend would or like we would get to know someone else; why would they forget what is "important"? It's a relationship, not just a "lecture" we're giving that they may/may not remember; if it is important to us, they'll know by how we present it and they'll work on it with us right then and there.
I do not like that. I have a string of events that affect one to another over the course of years. I feel like they will miss the connecting concerns/behaviors/thoughts over multiple sessions if they do not write it down. Also, I ramble and barely give them a word edge wise because I worry I will not be able to get it all out before they cut me off and start trying to tell me what to do w/o knowing the real issues. I must ask about this and will do so this week!
Thanks for this!
