I think it takes them some time to really cement certain things. 10 weeks is not a long time. Sometimes my therapist will ask the same things and I let it slide, but recently I have realized that my answers deepen and she has not forgotten...she's just circling back. I will often repeat things to refresh her memory, sort of like the way a tv show starts with highlights with the previous episode. I do that less now, though, since it doesn't seem to be as necessary.

I think time of day matters. When I needed to switch appt times, I asked her when she's her sharpest. She looked at her appt book to see who'd she'd last seen at the hour we were considering and smiled/laughed, "I was good!" So we settled on that hour.
