I thought the block out of memory was some sort of internal protection measure that some will develop.

I also think it relates to PTSD; whether or not this develops at all because certainly not all do.

None the less I found this quick article on PTSD for you here on PsychCentral - it makes mention of memory:

Understanding the Effects of Trauma: Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) | Psych Central

I hope it might have an answer for you there

Researchers, Clinicians Still Differ Over Repressed Trauma Memories | Psych Central News
Thank you so much for this! this definitely helped!
Take care my friend ~

There are many types of monsters that scare me: Monsters who cause trouble without showing themselves, monsters who abduct children, monsters who devour dreams, monsters who suck blood... and then, monsters who tell nothing but lies. Lying monsters are a real nuisance: They are much more cunning than others. They pose as humans even though they have no understanding of the human heart; they eat even though they've never experienced hunger; they study even though they have no interest in academics; they seek friendship even though they do not know how to love. If I were to encounter such monsters, I would likely be eaten by them... because in truth, I am that monster.
