May trigger

I won't dive into details, but I have this memory of seeing another little girl being abused. It came to me about two years ago and when I've told my therapists of the memory they ask what the little girl looks like?

I say I don't know. When I think of the memory, I know what is happening to the little girl, but I have no memory of what the little girl actually looks like. But I could remember other very vivid details. So I was working with my therapist in the hospital and I couldn't get this particular memory out of my hair and I tell her about it and she says "so the little girl was you?" I answered her quickly. "NO!" She says "O sorry, I was mistaken".

But as time goes on I keep thinking that my repressed memories of me seeing this other little girl, is actually me seeing myself, removed due to the dissociation.

Has this ever happened to anyone?

Yes. I sometimes wonder if it is not your brain making you ready. Your suppress memories, but sooner or later everything must come to surface. So you start having memories. Strangers in a familiar setting. So when you finally get that that is you, you are ready to deal with it. This is just my theory.
