"Part of me wants to believe I am just overreacting, then I don't have to do anything. It makes me so sad."
While I don't think you are overreacting, I don't necessarily think you have to do anything right now.
It sounds to me as though your T's memory may be a stumbling block to you feeling known by him.
If you have to constantly remind him who you are, then how can he know you right?
I think your issue gets to the question of "What does it take to know a person". What things are important for him to know, and what things can you let slide?
I think those questions should be at the forefront of your decision making process. Is it like he's meeting you de novo at each session? Is he forgetting what you do each day? Or is he forgetting things that are essential to your recovery?
Again, this is not something that I think you need to act on RIGHT NOW. I think this is something that merits deliberate consideration.
Seldom.
