Oh, yeah, I know that story! Although, I do think that sometimes the T is the one who is misremembering. For example:
Once my T said that in an earlier session I had said something about "people like that" referring to people who meditate. Now, I know for a fact that I was talking about people who are oblivious to what everyone else thinks about their actions, *not* people who meditate (whom I happen to admire).
Another time, he swore up and down that he had explained his phone message policy clearly, and that I had misunderstood. But I *know* that he hadn't explained part of it clearly. I remember what he said, and it wasn't what he thought he'd said.
I'd prefer not to go over examples of the times when I've misunderstood him. ;)
