<font color="green">I had repressed a lot of memories -- recently realized that I still have a whole year mia. Since the memories I had repressed dealt with specific time periods of abuse and my mother had started the abuse when I was a toddler, I didn't trust. I had to reach a place of trusting someone before I was able to remember. We never used hynosis but did use EMDR. My memories started coming back as dreams then as flashbacks. There may be more memories to resurect but I feel I have remembered most of what I needed to recall. My therapist says we remember when we are strong enough to remember and feel safe enough to work through the memories.</font>
