Search Results: childhood memories

Basically, a friend of mine (let’s call her lyla) who told me all about her turbulent childhood the other day. She said that she can’t remember much from her childhood and has felt like empty/a piece of her has been missing for as long as she could remember. She said that she tends to feel really depressed at times, and that she went through a phase of taking drugs as well.

Lately, she’s been attending therapy and told me that her therapist thinks she may have been sexually abused when she was younger and that she’s blocked the memories out. She said she felt like a weight had been lifted from her, and believes this is the answer to what’s been wrong all those years.

I’m not sure, I really hope her therapist is wrong. Is it really possible that you wouldn’t remember being abused as a child?
