She has also recently forgotten how old I am by a few years and some other details. I will sometimes have to explain the details of a certain situation 3 or 4 times over as many sessions, because she forgets them. Is it abnormal for her to be forgetting this kind of information or am I being too sensitive?

I have a problem with this. I don't know if its normal, but my T seems to really have a problem retaining key events in my life. Ive never made it a big deal, but I am so close to it. He forgot something hugely significant in my life. I don't know how much we should expect them to remember, but I feel like it shouldn't be so obvious to us that they dont. I personally am insulted by it, but I try not to let it interfere because I like him.
