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.
Yes. That is it! My counselor can prompt me the next week about something we talked about, that I could not remember. When he does that, it brings it back to me in pieces. I can usually fit them together then.

It is confusing and completely aggravating!!

I've tried to journal right when I get home, when things are still in that state, about what we talked about. Most times it seems to be one point that stood out, and I journal circles around it.
