I find that my t sometimes gets confused with clients, or forgets things I have mentioned in therapy, stuff that wasn't easy to tell, or forgets things he told me. There have been a number of times where Im repeating something rather significant and not getting any indication that its familar. Its not always, but enough that I am slightly annoyed by it.
Has anyone else had this experience? Of course there are a lot of stories they need to keep track of, but the important issues?

I've not had this happen to me, but I can imagine that if I did, it would really make me feel unimportant and very frustrated. Have you asked your T about it? Has he always been this way or is this a new thing happening?

I would not feel very connected to my therapy or therapist if I was treated this way. I'm sorry this is happening for you.
I recently read an article on this site's home page, or a DocJohn blog perhaps, that was about signs that your therapist is just not that into you. I'm sorry to say that what you describe is one of the signs that was referred to in the article. I will look for it and post a link. Yes, here it is. It is by DocJohn: http://psychcentral.com/blog/archive...our-therapist/ Last edited by ECHOES; Mar 19, 2011 at 09:18 AM. Reason: added blog/article link |

Mine forgot a few major bits of info, but that was because we had a gap of several years when we weren't working together. It would be hard if it happened now...

mine is very forgetful...I can always tell if he has peaked at my chart before I come in or not. It doesn't bug me much, some times I even ignore the misinformation since I feel like I'd embarrass him if I corrected him.

One time my T didn't remember something and it did bother me for a short time but then I remembered that I have shared a TON of info with her and this was a relatively small thing.
But if it continued, I would definitely feel like I'm not being paid attention to and that would be a deal breaker. I need someone to 'hear' me. And that includes remembering. |

Its been fairly big things that have been forgotten. But most everything else about my t is good so I hope its not a bad sign
 . If it happens again, I will have to say something. It is difficult when you get the courage to share information about traumatic events and they are not remembered, more than once. Thanks for your responses. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
