Talking about my parents and the other sorts of abuse filled up our hour long sessions. When I recovered memories of the abuse, he was one of the first persons I called. Repressed memories needs a lot more study. The human brain is a fascinating organ. Memory is a complex part of that. There are those in the field who deny the existence of repressed memory. There is also a group who have studied it and find it to be valid. I find it to be like climate change. There are those of us who see evidence of it everyday. There are others who deny its existence. I used to get very upset about people like Buster who deny my reality. Most of those people were apologists for the Catholic Church. I  have been at this for some time now. My library is full of books on the subject. I have an e reader that is also full. I have not used a therapist in several years. Reading books has been very useful. I suspect that as more research is done, repressed memory will be more widely accepted.
