Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?

Why would you repress them? Also is it possible to just have fragments of those memories - like just remembering where or what happened, but not exactly who with or how everything went down?Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?
People do this all the time. What I have seen is that some other event, like a death can bring these out and causes the person a lot of emotional distress. The more they talk about it, the more details come out. They should see a therapist to work on this.Is it true that you can repress memories of being molested as a child?
You can repress tramatic memories in general, your mind represses them as a survival skill. They come back eventually ussally triggered by another more recent tramatic memory.
yeah you can but I'm not sure to what age it is.





also i have memories of being chased b a wolf wen i was little I'm not sure if its true my mom tells me its not true but i can remember it that's just my experience of a repressed memorie
Definitely. Children and adults repress bad memories all the time. See you can just fragments of those memories. I would see a mental health professional to get treatment.
I suppose...but I think it also depends on the age of the child of how much is actually repressed.





The only logical conclusion as to the reason someone would want to repress these type memories is to forget about them and pretend they never happened.
