Traumatic memory gets created differently than normal memory.
Please reblog so as many people as possible can see this. People who were not abused don’t understand this about traumatic memory and that is often a basis for them not believing you.
There’s all sorts of complicated science behind how this works, but I’m not going to get into it right now because I really want to hammer home this very specific point and not get distracted by anything else.
Traumatic memory is different than normal memory.
Traumatic memory is different than normal memory.
Traumatic memory is recorded more similarly to a dream then waking life.
Do not let anyone hold your traumatic memory up to normal memory standards.
Do not let anyone convince you that your traumatic memories are invalid because they are recorded differently than normal memory.
Your traumatic memories are fragmented, out of sequence, and dreamlike. They contain both very vivid parts and totally missing parts. This is all valid. This is how traumatic memory is recorded in the brain.
Having traumatic memories does not mean there’s anything wrong with your memory. It’s the way the mind and nervous system are programmed to function when in perceived crisis. So, if the majority of your childhood memories are traumatic memories, it’s not because something is wrong with your memory, it’s because something was very wrong with your childhood.
