What a great response. We expect too much out of a traumatic memory retrieval, to be fully detailed,immediate, on demand. Memory doesn’t work that way when your at your best and its a great memory that you dearly want to remember ever detail. We have been lied to so much about our experiences by people who discount, dismiss or plainly distrust us when we claim childhood sexual abuse.. no wonder we struggle. I will always look at toothpaste now in a new way..
A kind note, Kimberly. I was thinking: the same people who scream and yell that that there exists nothing in the field of repressed memories seem to also demand that we prove the abuse. Hmmmm ….
