Recently, I've had a flashback about something that has happened in my childhood. Before this flashback, I knew that something like what I saw might have happened from stories my parents told me. However, I didn't remember anything about it up until about a week ago.
I have had flashbacks before, but mostly to things that I knew about already in detail and could have remembered on my own. I just chose to not think about it.

Now, I know that memories are something rather complicated, and that people can have false memories of things that never actually happened. And for this specific thing, there's no way of me actually knowing whether it happened, nor could I somehow find out.

I am wondering whether in such a situation you guys would still talk about the content of the flashback? There are some things in my life which I think would be rather well explained if it actually did happen, so there might be some benefit. However, since I can't actually know whether the memory is correct, I also feel that it might be more fruitful to talk about things I actually know have happened. I do feel affected by the flashback to some degree, but not much more than by other flashbacks, so I'm just not sure I should talk about this one...
