I was wondering, is there anyway of getting back memories that you've repressed?

My mom says that I've repressed most of my childhood and teen years. I started noticing several years ago that I really didn't have very many memories. This really bothers me. My T says that "my closet is full" and that I'm at my breaking point because I've repressed so many things and my mind is like an over stuffed closet and everything is about to come bursting out. I just want to remember my life, the good and the bad. Maybe I'm not ready for it, maybe I'll never remember, maybe someday I'll just explode - who knows.
