I was attending a service for survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I sacked my T late 2015 when I rang him out of the blue for a chat and told him I'm still having flashbacks (which I believe is due to having C-PTSD). He replied with, 'you're creating memories'. I felt so invalidated, complained the next day and asked for a new T at this same service. The new T was pathetic too, questioned and doubted everything I told her about CSA. And as I reflect I don't think they believe amnesia is possible when dealing with CSA. They simply don't believe my story of recovered memories later in life. But I think when it involves incest, its very shameful so your brain cannot deal with it, so it buries it within the subconscious. I'm still having flashbacks and physiological sensations. It's still very painful since I believe there was so much abuse by different abusers within the family.
