I'm struggling with repressed memories in therapy. A couple of months ago, I started mindful meditation - on my own and not a part of therapy. Two nights ago, I was engaged in a mindful meditation exercise in which I think of a difficult situation, like an argument I might have had with my T. I think about the problem, turn it over in my mind, look at it as a meditative object, then let it go.

While I was meditating, I saw flashes of images of what might have been things that happened in childhood (nothing traumatic, but sad).

Does anyone know if mindful meditation, or any meditation, can bring up repressed memories? Since I look at repressed memories as memories forgotten, I don't put any special value on the word "repressed."

Any opinions or experiences anyone can share will be greatly appreciated!!
