Childhood Memories

Does anyone else have problems retrieving childhood memories? I find that it is extremely difficult for me to do so. If someone asked me to remember things from age 11 for example, I’d probably draw a complete blank.

I agree with Billy DP. Although it isn't uncommon to not remember much, that's not to say it is irrelevant. My DP is definitely related to childhood trauma. And another thing people seem very quick to deny is supressed memories. It is a real thing and I have experienced this. And defo related to my dp. People want to deny them but there is absolutely no way that you could know you don't have them. My narrative before was "I know myself and understand my entire childhood. Everything was happy and normal because my parents tell me so today".. now my narrative is "who f*[email protected] knows, I barely remember anything?! Define normal??"
