I feel you've misunderstood me somewhat. At no point did I say those psychological issues were symptoms of buried memories. I said they were a barrier to buried memories becoming unburied. I'm frustrated by the big gaps in my memory, and my T has offered an explanation for why I can't "just remember", which is that I don't currently feel safe enough to do so. My T has observed these issues in context, which is way in my case they have led him to draw certain conclusions.

I never said attachment issues had a 1:1 correlation with buried trauma. I said attachment issues correlated to negative experiences of attachment in the past. For many people, this does lead back to childhood, whether they realise it or not. It might be something emotional. Many people have emotionally-unsafe childhoods and have attachment issues as a result.

I wasn't presenting all of this as cause and effect. I do feel you're quite resistant to the idea that childhood trauma is common - most people have wounds of some kind or another, and I think many attachment issues do begin in childhood. But I didn't say scores of people have trauma they don't remember. I didn't say attachment issues are a sign of buried trauma. I don't know how you drew that cause and effect from my post, as it's not what I said!

I don't feel I'm too damaged to be good at therapy. I'm afraid of the idea of being good at therapy for reasons detailed above.
