Can anyone suggest a way of unlocking blocked memory?

Hypnosis therapy

therapy. hypnosis, emdr, there are probably a few more that could help you work through this. 🫶🏽

So sorry to hear this. I have found reiki and shamanic healing to be incredibly powerful especially soul retrieval which can deal with this exact issue of blocking off childhood traumas and reclaiming the lost parts of yourself. That said there are infinite paths to healing. I would start dabbling in what you feel comfortable with and go from there. Maybe it’s a traditional therapist or maybe it’s something more alternative. There’s no right or wrong path. Sandra Ingerman’s book Soul Retrieval is amazing. Hope you find the healing you seek ❤️

I am pretty certain of something that happened to me as a kid. But like you, I cannot remember correctly. A lot of my childhood is splotchy actually. I talked to my therapist about this and we decided to leave the past the past. I may have blocked some things for a reason and personally I am okay with that. The abuser (he was caught abusing several of my cousins so I am using the term abuser and not just alleged or whatever) is long and dead and it’s all complicated but at the end of the day, we decided no good would come from remembering. Totally up to you but just another side to think about

Hypnosis and EMDR are recommended for repressed memories. I have considered it for similar reasons, but am afraid because the brain represses things as a form of protection. It’s also possible to recover false memories which doesn’t benefit anyone.

Crazy this happened to me randomly.. i don't even remember what I was doing and something triggered it. All my memories came flooding back at once. It was so overwhelming. That was 10 years ago and I decided to talk to a therapist this year about everything. I just wanted to say, I'm so sorry. You're not alone. Write. Pray. Heal 💕..

@Haley I would so love to leave the past to the past and forgot about it that is why I have never told anyone. But when I hear things about abuse and bringing it to the light especially to help others. I feel bad that I haven't said anything and who know who else she has hurt. It has been many years and I hope she hasn't hurt anyone else. She is in a different country now and last I heard she has twin girls. I can't really come out with it as I don't know the details 100% and will look very stupid trying to accuse her. It will do more hurt to me than her. I just pray she has stopped. But as my memories are blocked I can't come out to accuse her.

Possibly EMDR therapy could help. Id give it some research and if it seems suitable look for a practicing therapist.

I had a traumatic childhood and have been told the way my conscience has blocked all memories from my childhood. So anywhere from 18 years and younger I can't remember

EMDR is really helpful!
