Dissociative Amnesia

Dissociative amnesia is a condition in which a person cannot recall important personal information related to traumatic experiences. Unlike ordinary forgetfulness, it is characterized by significant gaps in memory for highly important events. There are several types: localized (a specific event), selective (parts of an event), generalized (entire life history), and continuous (all memories after a certain point). It is a defense mechanism the mind uses to protect itself from overwhelming experiences.

In a safe therapeutic environment, memories may gradually return. Mindy is here to support you gently through that process.
