I don't think that's true - I have buckets of traumatic memories, and I don't feel like I'm *in* them. (My body, however, does react as though I'm re-experiencing events. Adrenaline rush, fear, etc)
Heck, I don't even feel like I'm *in* the current moment. I don't feel much of anything, really, lol.
