I think I'm jealous!!
I went in carrying a photo of a Newfoundland, since my therapist doesn't know where the card I gave him is. Last time I saw it it was in his desk drawer. He is just so pleased with that description of himself. :) When he saw the picture he said something about the dog being very large and cuddly, then saw my dismay, and amended that to protective and safe. I have a feeling that the imagery might be carrying over to other parts of his life, since he mentioned seeing one on TV while watching with his wife. (Insert Calvin face - We really need a Calvin face emoticon.)
I pointed out that this obviously indicated that I remembered my homework assignment, but that I was guessing that he hadn't. He agreed he hadn't. I'm relatively sure he does not remember what words I used to describe him, and I'd probably have to look up what five words he used about me. :)
But your therapist remembers! Is he pleased and flattered? Although honestly my therapist seems to remember the unflattering things I say about him better...
I will say that I think it added to our relationship, even if he doesn't remember it particularly.
