I am with your pdoc and Racer. There seems to be more evidence of false memories coming up during hypnosis, than real memories.
However, I completely understand the "missing" feeling. It's as though it is right there on the tip of your tongue, but you just can't seem to bring it out.
I tried everything, I even thought I had "broken the amnesia" and revealed what I thought was the gods honest truth to my therapist. Only to sit down and watch Sybil again two days later and saw my "memory" played out right there on the screen. I had just applied my childhood to that movie and it was wrong.
Over time I realized that it just didn't matter to me one way or the other. In fact, I now thank my brain for potentially shielding me from the really bad stuff that may be in there.
I still have to deal with the stuff I know, and the stuff I don't? well, I have to deal with that to.
But I realize that I may never know what all happened to me. That's fine. I'm okay with not knowing.
Hope this helps.
