She did a lot of the talking yesterday, I know that. Which was good because I was overwhelmed. She wasn't taking notes because she dislocated her thumb on her right hand but she said she was taking notes in her head. I think we had a good session and I hope we can come back to the topics. She said she will bring them up. So for now, I guess I just have to rely on her memory! Thank you for the hugs. Hugs back, kit
If recording isn't an option (I recorded my sessions for a long time, until I stopped, and my memory is still very bad) and since you and her email, maybe you can ask for a session summary via email?

I do that with my T, and it helps both of us track my memory issues too. Memory issues can definitely "slow" your progress sometimes because it's difficult to learn new things, connect the dots etc. Dissociation is an important issue for her to work with you too.

HUGS if wanted.
