I thought this much was obvious; the idea that one can necessarily simply remember trauma was banished very early in the fields of psychology and psychoanalysis. It's a little disappointing to see that people continually underestimate the power of the unconscious.
- DanBC 8y agoThe idea that people can't remember trauma but that it still affects them, and what we really need to do is to uncover those repressed memories has caused immense harm.
- claudiawerner 8y agoThat was my point, but other commenters seemed to be saying that if you can't remember trauma then you must never have been traumatised, which is a false thing to say.
- nnd 8y agoWhat harm has it caused exactly?
