I remember a lot of details from childhood and since. There are also some blank spots. I remember enough things to keep me working in therapy for the rest of my life. I've been advised by therapists that I don't need to dig to deep for anything.

The importance of remembering for me seems to be in explaining why I react, think and behave in the strange ways that I do. When I want to change something in the now, I have to seperate out today's reality from the trauma of the past. Sometimes knowledge isn't enough to change, but sometimes a single thought can change my perspective.
