The whole concept of “repressed memories” was BS from the get=go, and obviously so. Either you remember something or you don’t.

Witch-Hunt alert.

“Witch-Hunt alert”

This may be a joke, but if you actually read Freud, Jung, etc. they go beyond the mere self-protection of individual psyche to posit horror at the origin of human culture. That is to say, we are neurotics not only because our parents had sex in front of us when we were babies, but also because we can dimly remember people practicing human sacrifice 65,000 years ago, or something. Which is insane, but, hey, what is psychology for?
