I take notes immediately after I leave, I keep a journal app on my phone. So I would say I remember a decent amount, but my memory in general is quite good. I like taking notes right after I leave, it helps me remember from week to week what we discussed and any questions my therapist brought up to discuss in the next session.

There was an especially meaningful session about a month ago that I wish I could have taped to replay over and over. I was in a especially deep self loathing hole, but my therapist did a particularly amazing job of being so supportive and validating of my experiences. It was probably the most I’ve ever heard him speak at once (and this was maybe 5 mins tops), but it was so wonderfully touching and supportive. I don’t take compliments very well and have a hard time focusing positive attention on myself, so in times of support or compliments, I tend to not remember as much as I normally do.
