"represed memories" can be tricky. sometimes the brain brain fills in some "unrecoverable" memories. there are some ppl who goes to a hypnotist and a false memory is implanted to their brain by suggestion of the hypnotist.
If something bad happened and you cannot remember it, your brain is not letting you remember because it would be too painful for you. Amnesia--when you have head trauma and cannot remember anything. Fuzzy memory --you just can't remember stuff (like when you get older). Neither of these have anything to do with not remembering something bad that happened to you.What is the difference between selective amnesia and a fuzzy memory of the past?
Selective anmesia is a choice to not remember an event or fact. Whereas "fuzzy memory" means you are unable to recall all of the facts or events associated with an envent.
A fuzzy memory happens through a simple natural process that happens over time as your mind tries to ignore the event, and hides it away bit by bit. Selective amnesia is a more 'unnatural' thing, usually caused by severe mental, emotional, or physical trauma, in which it is as if the event never happened- everything just dissapears.
Selective amnesia means that certain things whether associated with a certain traumatizing event (an auto accident) or time period can't be recalled. A fuzzy memory of the past is less severe than amnesia. You might recall certain things but not all the details of an event.
