I’m back with another form of Dissociation: Dissociative Amnesia. You may commonly ask yourself why you can’t remember things? Or do you have memory loss? These could be signs of dissociative amnesia, a common type of dissociation that differs from other types like maladaptive daydreaming, depersonalization and derealization. In this video I’m talking you through what is dissociative amnesia, types of dissociative amnesia and treatment of dissociative amnesia. What is Dissociative Amnesia & and what are the treatment options? Frequently I am asked questions like this: Why can’t I remember my childhood? What does it mean that I don’t remember? Does trauma cause memory loss?

Let’s look at these expectations, how we should feel about family expectations and then how to create boundaries with family.
