But I would be no match for my T's skill at being a T in the session with a client. That man is THERE. He is fully with me for every tear. His whole heart is with me. And I would not be able to be a T like that - or not THAT good! ...I realized that I didn't want a tape recorder for a therapist.

That's funny, that is so true for me too. T tells me I remember stuff that people in his personal life don't remember - and it sounds like he wished they had (which is why he should marry ME, not them, but hey, i'm just the patient!). But yeah, what I really want is that he comes in with a fresh ear every time, almost no preconceptions of who I am, what my limitations are, not thinking, same crap, different day; not thinking he KNOWS what i'm going to say next. That would be the worst.
Sending her away because she forgot is like the Billy Mumy episode of Twilight Zone where he wishes everybody into the cornfield if he doesn't like their thoughts. You are so angry that she forgot YOU - the question to be resolved is, are you safe with her? You were not safe with FOO. Is this T a bad decision on your part? In a way, it is really good that you are experiencing this terror with your T - weren't you recently talking about having a consult with another T? Now might be a good time.
