Thank you very much, Amandalouise, for educating me where I was mistaken in assuming everyone remembers their trauma. In my case, I very clearly remember the trauma I have suffered but the emotional attachments to those events do not come with the flashbacks. I only remember the events but remember them in a state of being "numb". There was never a time when I didn't remember them and I suppose it is a blessing that I can separate the emotional response from the memory so easily. I do deal with the emotion eventually but am able to do so under a controlled environment.
