Yet, for some a story has to be told, it is so important for a past to be honored.

My therapist is not brainwashing me. I am the one who brought up this incident from the past. She never pushes me to bring up things from my past. If she felt like I was dropping a hint, but avoiding it, she would ask me to look into it (explore it).
When looking up
'repressed memories', there is research that indicates that repressed memories tend to be inaccurate. This is what is bothering me. I was able to write down the account of what happened as if it happened yesterday. I gave specific details. How (why) would I make this up? Can I trust my memory? Does it matter if I don't get all the details just right?
