ha ha ha. Yeah, mine is kind of like this too. I don't really email him about things, but I can see it would be helpful if I did email and he referred to it. My T leaves it up to me to introduce what I want to talk about each session, so he would not bring up a past email unless I did. This approach fits well with his not being able to remember things. I did email him once about a book I was reading and sent a specific quote I knew would interest him. He wrote back that we should discuss this next time. I did want to, but by the time the session came, I had forgotten. He didn't bring it up, so maybe he forgot too. It's too bad, because it would have been a good discussion. I only just now remembered this and it was months ago.... My T told me once that one of the things that makes him a good therapist is his outstanding memory. My jaw must have dropped to the floor.
