Imagine being able to remember enough to answer questions about your childhood, couldn't be me.

I can’t just call stuff up. I have to encounter something that reminds me of a specific event otherwise a lot is blank/fuzzy

You might find giving the exercise a go interesting - I would have said the same but there was a lot more there than I expected there to be. (Depending on how your childhood was you might also find the exercise intensely unpleasant. Use personal judgement)

Yeah... based on what I keep remembering lately it’s a lot of unpleasantness. I learned recently that a lot of my growing up experiences were not normal and I’m still grappling with that

Me recently: "Ah yes, that that time I was evacuated from a war zone, leaving my father behind, that very normal childhood event. I suppose that *was* stressful now that you mention it." (It's less dramatic than it sounds and my father is fine, but it wasn't *not* dramatic)
