    A majority of people still believe in the nonsense of unconscious repressed memory, and Hollywood may be to blame. https://osf.io/a4n7h/ pic.twitter.com/Lj6lNt6gim

        It will be the same with the fraud of “implicit bias”.

        It is a just-so story that makes sense, so people are drawn to it. The trap of plausibility.

        Seems like a silly conclusion. Repression is a psychological coping mechanism to deal with overwhelming emotion. We are not always ready to fully process our emotions. Remnents of these states don't automatically leave our body. Doesn't PTSD deal w trauma, repression and memory?

        The excerpt doesn’t make any conclusions about conscious repressed memories. Can someone deliberately learn to repress memories?

        i mean what about the entire psychological concept of 'the shadow' from Carl Jung? this seems entirely composed of repressed emotion and memory.

        Where is this wrong? 1. One can bring back old memories by using normal tools to try to remember them. 2. One can conciously and unconsciously undermine current memories by refusing to think about that topic 1+2 mean you could have some degree of repressed memory of both types

        Is it just that ppl TEND to remember trauma more, and an effect like the above is rare?
