In my psychology class we were talking about repressed memories and how the idea of it is largely a myth because it's very, very rare and most "repressed molestation" memories turned out to be false. Also when children whod seen their parents be murdered were interviewed later in life they remembered it sharply.

So this guy I know claims that he recovered this 'repressed memory' of being six and being buttraped by his eleven-year-old uncle. He'd completely forgotten about it he says, and then repressed memory therapy (probably someone pretty shotty) helped him recover it so now he remembers. He's gay btw but claims this incident has nothing to do with the fact that he's gay.

1) Have you ever heard of an eleven-year-old child buttraping ANYBODY?
2) Show me one instance of a repressed memory being proven to repress a sexual assault. Just one.

I didn't offer him many kind words when he told me about this and since then hes been a complete asshole to me doing whatever he can to get rid of me, harrassing me, being mean to me in general. i mean i said I was sorry about it happening to him but I didn't come up with a whole list of "I am sooooo sorry this happen to you, i can't even begin to comprehend the pain..." crap. so he's mean to me because he was attention seeking and didn't get to use me like that basically. i mean he 'alludes' to this incident all the time in order to attention whore.

Does anyone else think his story is more or less bs?? I believe he believes it's true, but...

1) Yes.
2) Let me break out my incredible mind reading machine to display the results...

You're calling BS on his story because he has difficulty talking about it in detail, yet it comes up a lot? Do you think that might be because it DEEPLY AFFECTED him? Ever consider that it crosses his mind every god damn day? It's pretty fucking hard for him to let go of something like that, don't you think? Apparently you don't think. Seriously...wtf.

I never really believed in that repressed memory crap, since it's so easy to give someone (especially children) false memories just by repeating things as fact or asking questions in a certain way to get them to answer in a certain. Pretty soon they start to believe it.

If you got buttraped by an 11 year old, but repressed the memory, why would you WANT to remember being buttraped?

I don't know, I'm not a professional.

I'm working towards becoming a college professor. I question everything. Someone alluding to a traumatic event in their life has nothing to gain. If you think attention is something to gain, then you have bigger thruths to learn.

According to the American Psychological Association, it is not currently possible to distinguish a true repressed memory from a false one without corroborating evidence.

you'll never know
personally i dont think so, why would he go to repressed memory therapy to begin with if he didnt know about it, and an eleven year old raping anybody anally is sort of hard to imagine from a logistics point of view

hmm I wouldn't guess he wanted it in a sexual sense, because he acts sad about it, but probably wanted something to blame his problems on

Well being sad about it is an after effect.

The sexuality of children is still up for debate in popular psychology.
