I think when our T's know either we are T's or we are going to some day, changes on how they do therapy with us. They expect us to know certain stuff. With my T he is surprised on what I do know since I am only an undergrad.
Well anyway, I hope this is okay to say, but I think you are on a verge of a breakthrough. When I describe my childhood and life, it is a very intellectualized way. I knew the theories, etc. BUT a huge breakthrough for me was when I realized in therapy that I didn't "FEEL" the emotions. I could explain on WHY I felt the way I did, but if my T would directly ask me HOW did that feel. I couldn't say. It is a bid day when you know how you felt. Maybe it is different for you, but that is how it felt to me at first.
I remember talking to my current T about my old T, saying that when I would get teary eyed with him, he would make me laugh, and distract me from feeling. But with my current T, he goes with it, it is like he is searching for it to nail in on. lol I can't HIDE anything from him, he knows me well now. So when your T "forgets" things that are important, if it isn't all the time, it should be okay. But if it gets to where you don't feel you could show emotion with her or to tell how bad you might really be, than it isn't a good thing.
It is funny to me when people think that just because someone is a T, they must have the perfect families and can handle all their own problems. My T says is can help others, but sometimes many T's are blind to themselves.
