As children and youth, we adopt whatever coping mechanisms will help us deal with the physical and emotional pain of sexual abuse. Add to that, the threats, both direct and implied, that have a way of tapping into those coping mechanisms. It's very easy to see how one could dissociate to the point of no memory. But the unconscious knows because it is present for everything. Does that mean that at some future point the memories will be released? That's a much more difficult thing to answer. What's important is having the tools to deal with anything that does get remembered in the future.

Thank you for sharing your story here with us, James. As always, I send you continued loving healing energy.
