here in america the therapy approach is that it really doesnt matter if the memories are literally real. its more about how the brain stores memories... memories now dont have to be "real" they can also be a brain conjured \ false memory built on an emotion\ feeling. let me show you what I mean..

I have a memory of jumping out of an air plane. this memory has all the elements of reality... the plane is real, I found it in an air plane encyclopedia, the location in this memory is real, the people in this memory are people from my life. problem I never jumped out of an air plane and never even had the opportunity to jump out of this air plane. so why do I have this memory... it holds my fear of heights. it is my brains way of dealing with being afraid of high places. the feelings in this memory are real.

many people have false memories that embody their emotions/ feelings. its actually quite normal to have memories that are not literally real in the physical sense but are real in the emotional sense.

many people also have false memories from hearing stories that is part of their family history, what we see on tv and all kinds of things. this is completely normal...

so in my location my treatment provider focuses on the emotion, people and events of that memory rather than whether its a real one or not.
