I think that's true for me too, focus and trust and anxiety and distraction and exhaustion and overwhelm before I even hear anything can interfere with presence and recall.
I think trying to be mindful not only requires practice but also reducing distractions, trust established, a sense of safety, courage to listen or speak, and whatever is helpful.
I think if I can write down or 'see' a few words I can remember more of what it goes back to.
I'm not sure if it's always 'words' but the 'feeling'? As in, for examples, feeling safe matters more than lots of words. Or, self-forgiveness is a concept/ reality to absorb without forever picking it apart. Or quelling the IC is a fact/ 'absence', rather than always being an effort. Etc.
(I'm sorry, having trouble with 'words', hope this makes sense. :( )
