Not sure if that fits in here or not.

that is how it is when i go to therapy. i go in and feel ok and talk about things i intend to and then when i think back to it afterwards, a day or few later, i cannot usually remember a lot of what was talked about. i know a lot is said at times, but recalling what it was or what the therapist said in response gets kind of lost.
i know what i talk about kind of just cuz i bring in a journal at times..though other things are said cuz one thing leads to another topic, etc. there is definitely dissociation that happens in sessions whether i realize it or not. i don't completely forget sessions though, just a lot of it. then i try to sort through things to figure out what was said, what was important to remember....and it doesn't work so well. gets confusing.
