Repressed Memories Trauma

Introduction:

According to the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation. “Repressed memories are memories that have been blocked from conscious perception as a result of significant stress or trauma.” (2011). When we experience a significant degree of stress or trauma, our sympathetic nervous system becomes hyperactivated and overwhelms our brain. The brain is overwhelmed with surges of intense emotions and stimulation via the sympathetic nervous system.

Added to the above, Repressed memories occurs from being under stress with experiences of trauma event or incident such as childhood sexual abuse, being a victim of a crime, loss of loved one, rape or bad experiences in life. Another reason why repressed memories occur

In my own personal beliefs that have repressing memories happen then there should be the following that:

 Indicate that the abuse/traumatic even actually occurred i.e. the case study that l presented.

 Indicate that the abuse was actually forgotten and inaccessible for some period of time. i.e. the case must be excluded that can be explained by the victims trying not to think about the events, and pretending the events never occurred in the first place or deriving a secondary gain by claiming to have amnesia.

 Indicate that the memory loss could not be explained by any biological causes

 Indicate that the abuse was later remembered

In my conclusion, it is not unusual to forget an event like my article because a sexual assault can be forgotten in the same way that an ordinary memories can where is the notion of repressions in not really needed. Trauma does create scars in memory resulting in remarkable intense and consistence recollections over a long periods as long as people may wish to forget painful experiences then the details remains fully in mind in their own
