Missing time/abreaction

Posted by thewrite1 on September 14, 2004, at 15:21:29

I had HUGE chunks of time that I can't account for. Truthfully, I remember very little before age 12. It's almost like I didn't exist before that time.

I've been discussing some of this with a friend and she says that it's not really helpful to poke around in the dark and see what other monsters can be dug up. While it's true, I'm afraid of what I might find, I really want to recover the other memories that are stuck there. I mean, I know it wasn't all bad. I just want to remember my 7th birthday, what I got for Christmas that year, or my first kiss. Maybe it wouldn't be worth it. I don't know. Maybe the monsters holding my memories hostage are more than I can take. Again, I don't know. All I do know is that I feel incomplete without them.

No questions. I guess I just wanted to put that out there to see if anyone has had any experiences or input in this situation.
