I doubt it.

Remember me as in bump into me in the street and recognize me?
In which case, yes I think my ex as well as my last therapists (both I saw for a significant time) would at least recognize me and know who I am if we ever ran into each other.
I have a very good memory of faces so I can always recognize people I have met, even years before.
If we are talking about the fact that any of these therapists think about me now that I no longer see them: it’s a no. I would be incredibly surprised to learn that I ever crossed their minds.
It’s as it should be: I don’t see why they would remember me at all.
Thanks for this!

I have been seeing her weekly for 10 years so I suspect she will remember me

EMDR T I doubt she will. Only been going every other week for 6 months. She works a lot with refugees who have been victims of way more horrific abuse than I am. For a few years she was a social worker /therapist as a missionary to a third world country. I am pretty boring

I'm pretty sure both current T and former T would remember me -- not because there's anything unique about me but (for reasons that I really don't understand), people remember me many many years later (and contact me out of the blue) even though we'd have barely interacted at the time (and I usually need to jog my memory to remember who they are). So, maybe my all-round weirdness sticks in people's minds for some reason.

There was a T I saw for a few months about 10+ years ago -- I highly doubt she'd remember me as even then she was in her 70s and swiftly going out of it (or, so I thought given her singular lack of therapeutic skills).

Absolutely! No doubt about it.

Maybe, because I'm difficult...

About a year or two ago, she said I was the most "connection seeking" client on her caseload of 40+. Apparently she's only had 1 other client been that way "but she left". Her words and she sounded sad and clearly remembers that client.

Ex T remembered me when I ran into her a year after termination.

I'd like to think that my former T would have her memory jogged if I came back to her practice, but if she ran into me at the supermarket I'm not sure she would (although, I do have very distinctive hair).

I come from a family of teachers, and my mom remembers all her students. Of course, she knows some students more than others. In my mind, therapy is the same way. I don't think therapists are able to truly erase a client from their memory, unless maybe a client only saw them once or twice. But I choose to believe that clients stick with therapists - not that the therapists think about us constantly or even at all, but if they saw us again, they would remember us.

Maybe that's just wishful thinking, though.

Oh I also want to add that I see my T at a university clinic so once I graduate, I won't be allowed to see her anymore. At our last session (I don't want to think about it!) I do plan on asking her if she'll remember me. We have a close relationship. I think she will.

Current T says she remembers previous clients.

I doubt any of my PrevT's will remember me. They didn't really care a thing about me.
PrevT did remember me when I got back to her after about 1,5 years without therapy. I doubt she will still remember me in 20 years or so.

I wonder if Prev Pdoc will still remember me. If I would see him in the city, will he still know me? I've seen him for about 1,5 years, but it weren't alot of appoinments and they were short. And I was weird. But I did had a crush on him and he knew.

I am fairly certain that she will remember me. It’s been 5 years that we’ve been meeting once a week so I tend to think she will

I hope she only remembers what a crappy job she did. She acted like she had never before treated anyone with serious issues. She was a wuss. She should feel guilty and should go get some more training...or take her PhD elsewhere into another field...
