Can repressed memories FLASH back into memory?

Hello: I would like to make a suggestion. If at all possible please look for a therapist. I'm not suggesting this to be rude. You say that there was a lot of fighting in your life as a child. That is emotional abuse. Yelling, name calling, fighting, screaming matches that is abuse. If you are having flashbacks and repressed memories to me as a survivor of abuse both emotional, and other it seems like there are things that maybe you need unburden your heart with. There seems like there could be a lot of pain to perhaps work out. I have P.T.S.d and flashbacks are something that I deal with  I have anxiety and I have repressed memories. I encourage you to please talk to someone. A pastor, relative, friend, or therapist. Please for if nothing else at all then to help with your blood pressure. I have worked through many problems and still have a long way to go. If it seems like I am reading to much in to this then perhaps I could be. It just sounds like something is troubling your heart.\nGood Luck and I'll keep you in thought and prayer.

I like now, I love now!\n\nIt would be nice to relive your life maybe if you could edit out a few bits first, or if you could retain the memories and try different approaches, like say yes to things you previously said no to...it might turn out worse but that would be the risk you take I guess.

Nobody knows for sure. "During the past two decades, however, a few hardy souls have reopened the scientific study of déjà vu. They hope to nail down a persuasive explanation of the phenomenon, as well as shed light on some fundamental elements of memory and cognition. In the new book The Déjà Vu Experience: Essays in Cognitive Psychology (Psychology Press), Alan S. Brown, a professor of psychology at Southern Methodist University, surveys the fledgling subfield. 'What we can try to do is zero in on it from a variety of different angles,' he says. 'It won't be something like, "Boom! The explanation is there." But we can get gradual clarity through some hard work.'\n\nThe four current theories are \n\n1. dual processing\n2. neurological \n3. actual similarity in memories\n4. double perception\n\nTo get more information on these theories, please read the article linked below.

What??? You can limit the amt. of undo's but that won't help memory.

This question cannot be answered with a definitive yes or no.  It depends upon the trauma endured by the person.  The brain reacts to severe trauma which impedes short-term memory.  The brain will shut down normal processing functions as a measure of shock control on the body thus erasing the person's short-term memory to a point right before the trauma was occurring.  The person will remember events up until say 15 minutes before the trauma and then sometime later after the trauma has occurred, but not the actual event itself.

No, I don't think it's wrong to enjoy the memory, even if it didn't end well. As long as you acknowledge what your feelings are to that person now, and you're not planning to take them back just because of what once happened, it can't do any harm, and it would be a shame to have to lose beautiful memories just because things changed later. Even if you now know things weren't as you thought they were then, it's nice to lose yourself in a little dream now and then, as long as it doesn't stop you moving on in your life and finding someone who truly loves you.

You can't simply erase the past, or stop thinking about it, unless something goes wrong with your memory, because the past is part of the present. What I recommend you to do, which is I am doing now, is trying to live with this past even if you didn't like what happened. We can't change the past, we can't go back and fix the mistakes we've done, others have done or circumstances brought; but for sure we can start new everyday and change the things we're dealing with now.

No. The reason why I'm here and answering this question is because I did things in my past that I regret or even hated. These things that we have been hating and want to get back at or rewind are the reasons we are who we are today. \n\nIf ever we regret the fact that we are who we are, it is the same thing as regreting what we chose before. Because if you ever wanted to undo the bad things that occured to you, there is no way to redo the good things, or even bring back the times after you changed your fate.

If a person is a criminal before he got an amnesia there's a possibility that he might forgot what he did, but he also might remember some parts of the events that he did during the crime.\nsometimes they consider character change to be an exception. Because they just can't remember the events before the accident, trauma, emotional effect, or an amnesia from excessive alcohol use. Actually it also depends on what kind of amnesia occured.\nHaving a phobia  from the cause of accidents is possible, part of the brain where the emotions are can react from it, even the victim don't know why.

If you use hypnosis to recall forgotten events you can actually create memories of things that did not happen.  It can be very dangerous unless done by truly knowledgable and responsible professionals.

Interesting question!  I am really looking forward to the answers on this one.\n\nI used to think I was having past life memories.  I was having a deja vu-type experience very often, like every few hours.  I would remember a memory that wasn't my own.  To this day I'm not sure whats happening when it occurs (still pretty much daily) but I'm sure its just some wires getting crossed in my brain somehow.

If something gets caught in a trap, it never gets out.\nTo have a memory like a trap mean you never forget.

Why did you have to bring that up?  I'm having flashbacks now and I have to go throw up.\n\nNo, no long term scars.

Oh boy, LOL, I have quite a few tapes that I forgot what I taped, didn't mark them, thinking I would remember later, I laughed at your question because that is me, so now I try to mark the tapes and am going back to mark all the others when I watch them, thinking-oh yeah that is what is on this one.  :)
