we learned today that repression isn’t real. that there are a number of reasons we may think it’s repression, but there’s a true reason for it. for example, i thought mine was repression (my brain forgetting to protect me). turns out that i was actually just forgetting bc it wasn’t as traumatizing then as i realize it is now. it was downplayed sm when i was a kid that i forgot about it bc i was convinced it meant nothing :(
