Glowworm80, Just in case this could comfort or reassure you, I personally have a terrible block about people's names. My boss, someone who I'm dating - I just blank their name, even while I have an unusually accurate memory for every detail of our conversations, etc. Seems like early in my life my brain decided by itself that in the scale of human existence names don't matter. I do my best to trick my brain into remembering one way or another because I know that people find names important.

If I were in the role of your therapist, I would feel fine if you brought this up with me openly - because it's something that everybody in my life knows about me. Just like everyone also knows that I have an annoyingly accurate memory for everything else.

I do understand how weird and impactful it must be to go into session and have this happen!!! But it might not be as neglectful as it feels.

Best of luck!
