It's an aquired skill. That is why most therapists bill you by the hour, but usually have 50 minute sessions. They use the 10 minutes to sumarize notes.

It gets much easier once you know the person. Empathy goes a long way to promoting memory recollection too. I can remember much more details about patients that I care about or find very interesting. Especially mental health patients.
