I think I am going to ask him about this. But I find it frusterating lately. It seems like he forgets some of our major sessions where we talk about very significant things.
For instance last session we were talking about this local college, the one that I want to get into for grad school.
Well he forgot that I want to go for my Phd. in psych. We talked about this so much, the difference between Phd. and PsD. U mean he agreed to be my mentor after therapy to help me become a better T.Then another is my GPA, when I first saw him it was 4.0 and we had many talks about this, the pressure, the perfection, and missing out on life to maintain the 4.0. Then I missed my concert and I got a C in a class that brought me down to a 3.9, and how I feel better that the pressure is off, etc. Well about a couple of months ago, he forgot that my GPA was that high and why I needed it to be high so I can get into grad school.
Then we had this major emotional session, the one where I told him why I wanted to meet with my old T to work things out. The session that convinced him that maybe it would be a good idea, and that he would talk to him and feel out the situation Well it was before the his vacation where he had the heart surgury. When he came back, he didn't remember why I wanted to meet with my old T.
So I am wondering if his memory is affected by his surgury, being put under. I know when my daughter had her heart surgury, she forgot her math facts for awhile.
It is getting frusterating because I feel like he has forgotten most of our sessions and what they were about for the past year. I feel like he doesn't know me. I can see forgetting small stuff, but this stuff was the major stuff we worked on together.
Is there a way I can bring this up delicately? My usual approach is a very straight forward approach, but I don't want him to get upset.
I really like this T, and have been working for over a year now, he is helping me with some very hard issues right now but how could he forgot such major issues we have discussed? Am I being too hard on him?
