If you didn't remember being abused would just the fact you feel all those emotions with mere mention of the possibility be proof enough to you something happened?

I would be anxious at being pushed to remember something that might not have happened. To me that's being pushed to invent an abuse in order to "fix it." And it's a reason to prolong therapy to fix something that may not even be real. Meanwhile you may not actually be addressing something that needs to be addressed. If your mind is rejecting something, that doesn't mean repressed memories. It might mean that, but it might also just be your brain saying "should I make up something?" And then your heart saying "no that's wrong." So you are in effect creating an internal conflict.
