In reply to dissociation mpd did etc..., posted by psych chat on October 14, 2009, at 23:04:23
It may not be that your memories were erased, but that they were never formed. I also don't remember most of my childhood or early adolescence. My T said that I probably never will, because memories are stored with affects (I felt happy, sad, etc) and when you repress emotions to get through a F**ed up childhood, you don't form that sort of memory. I have years of my life that I don't remember. Maybe I dissociated then, but I know I don't now. I remember everything in my life since I was a young adult and met my husband.
