I've known since I was 8 that most of my memory was already blocked out, and I also remember that what I did remember that I knew was safe to tell a therapist I did tell, though, it is like I can only remember what I told a therapist about and those things interchange and are rarely at the same time. I haven't found anything about people remembering things this way, and it rather confuses me about how this is possible or even if it is possible.
Is this just common and not talked about, or is it just some odd quality I have?
Also, apologies if there is a section dedicated to amnesia: I couldn't figure out where to put this since it doesn't really fit under PTSD or any other listed forum section I found.
