So why do we forget certain events through a repressed memory? This is a simple answer: protection. Like other psychological disorders, repressed memory serves to protect us from the trauma and stress levels from the incident that we are experiencing. Many psychologists and clinicians also agree that a repressed memory protects us from other extreme emotions, such as anger, fear and negative beliefs. It is hypothesized that a repressed memory occurs because our brain is telling our bodies that we can't handle the reality of trauma.
Okay. I can start repressing all the 4 years memories I had with the woman I love. I want to forget all the memories, everything! BUT, as I've started doing it, my heart is feeling uneasy. It is feeling sad and my brain doesn't want to say why.
Amnesia nalang talaga. Kahit hindi ko na maalala family and close friends ko, okay lang. Kahit makalimutan ko kahit pangalan ko, ayos lang. Basta ma-wipe out lang lahat ng tao sa utak ko. If it's a complete loss, my brain doesn't have to keep secrets from my heart since it does not remember anything.
