In the process of consultation, it is more important to let yourself feel with your heart. Sometimes, relying too much on taking notes and recording will greatly weaken the effect of consultation. In fact, it is more of a loss for tourists. It's like we're watching a live broadcast, and now it's like some live broadcasts are replayed and some live broadcasts are not replayed. Sometimes, as long as you listen and feel with your heart, you don't have to watch it twice at all. There's no need to watch it again.
I suggest you take notes on some psychological concepts or some consulting methods during the consultation process. This is definitely after you sit down, you still need to practice, be aware of it in your life, make efforts, and sometimes even have homework. Then, these can be taken notes properly.
Second, let your brain and body feel the power of this consultation.
Then more and more, you should give yourself a lot of encouragement and affirmation. You should believe in yourself, be capable, sensitive and receptive, and accept such conversations and consultations.
Just like before consulting, you will ask the consultant, can I take notes? Wait, you're setting limits for yourself. You are presupposing that you have no ability to make your body, your brain and your body and mind feel the power of this consultation. You need to use some external tools that can be played back to you to make yourself feel more secure and in control. In fact, this is also a part worth discussing in your consultation process.
Third, strive for self-confidence and input and output in your mind.
As you said, your memory is declining, and then some confidence is not fully input and output in your mind. For some things, you want something, but you can't do it. Then, if there is any comment on your cognition, it should be that in your life, work and parent-child relationship, interpersonal communication will definitely have a certain degree of influence. I think if you clear this part, it will take your vitality to a higher level.
