Hi my names Allison and I'm 34
I have a long history of complex trauma and have suffered from Anxiety disorders all my life .
My main issue is my memory I have a very patchy memory about most my life and also large chunks of memories that are gone .
The thing that bothers me the most is when I do have a memory weather it's a bad one or a good one I have absolutely no emotional response to it it's as if my past wasn't mine or didmt happen to ME .
I see most people have strong emotions attached to past memories but I have nothing and its driving me crazy ..
Does anyone know why this is ?
How do I get my emotions attached to my past memories ?
I'm starting therapy at the end off this month but just seeing if anyone else is like this and knows what it is
Thanks
