I think it is perfectly normal to wish your T remembered you and to feel hurt that he may not. You invested a huge part of your self in therapy. Of course that is significant and important. I think it is to T's too. I feel like I'm privileged to receive that kind of personal, intimate opening up--that it is like a gift. But considering that this gift occurs within a person's profession, the sheer quantity of it over 20 years may interfere with T's remembering everything. I think that's just a reality of it.
But for whatever reason a T may not remember, and maybe they remember a lot, it still hurts to think your gift was forgotten.
