I'm sure you're right, Dinah. He did mention that he had prostate surgery a few months before. My memory is frequently awful, and my husband is hopeless at remembering names. I'm certain it was just a momentary lapse because he sounded perfectly on top of things otherwise.
Even if easily understandable, it still stings some. I ran into him another time a year or so after he retired, and he made an amorphous comment like "I've thought about you quite a bit." He wasn't smiling when he said it (we were both walking into the grocery store). Of course I speculated all over the place what that meant, but I frankly thought nothing good.
He hasn't been my therapist now for several years; I really like my current therapist. I've been able to progress with her further than I ever could with my last therapist. Somehow though I still want his approval and assume that I let him down by not being a more responsive patient.
