Kashi forgot to continue a trauma related conversation that we had last week. And he said that this week there was something he would do at the end of the session to help with my driving phobia. He forgot. I haven't said anything yet but I want to.
I'd love to hear your experiences. Maybe it will give me ideas on how to handle this.

My experiences run the whole gamut. As for forgetting things, I think that's pretty common, and as others have said, up to the client to say something by way of reminding what they were going to work on. I forget a lot too, so it's not always a big deal, but when I do have a complaint, I usually bungle it, so I'm not a good example of how to do things. Sometimes there is swearing (on my side). She doesn't apologize much, but she says she apologizes all the time, so we have argued about that.
I think I mostly always trust that we'll work it out.
