Tramua can be as simple as the mother/baby bond not happening or become corrupt. To the baby, this is highly traumatic, the first trauma event that a baby can experience unless your like my mother who proudly claims that I started getting licks with a wooden spoon as soon as I started to walk, leaving little red welts for being a naughty 3 year old. All 3 year olds are naughty...they call that exploring...they get into stuff all day!. The abuse kept going till we were 18 years old, mental, emotional, physical, and sexual.

So....just because you can't consciencely recall the memory doesn't mean that it's not there. I don't remember 7/8 of my life.

Everything after the initial unprocessed trauma is a back log of trauma memories which takes on a life of their own.
