This is a very debated subject in psychology and you get all things like false memory syndrome coming into play. But I have experienced repression of my childhood memories. I only remembered my abuse ten years after the abuse actually occured. The memory was triggered by attending a seminar on childhood abuse. Besides the abuse I still have no other memories of my childhood. The abuse has been confirmed by someone so I know the memories are correct. I have been told that this is definately repression.
So I was wondering has anyone ever experienced this or do you know anything else on the topic?
