When you lack childhood memories, it’s your brain and nervous system protecting you.
Even if you’re sure you didn’t have any major trauma in childhood, your younger self may have perceived any number of things as dangerous.
Especially if you had contentious or toxic relationships in your family, this could be a rolling trauma — an accumulation of moments and experiences that taught your nervous system that in some way you weren’t safe and needed to protect yourself.
As an adult you might be baffled by your lacking childhood memories. And it doesn’t matter if you ever remember them or not. What matters is that you trust that your brain and nervous system are protecting you for a very good reason.
If you investigate this with therapy or other inner work, you may find that your childhood memories start to trickle back. Make sure that you do this with the support of a licensed therapist in case the trauma that comes through those memories is difficult to tolerate.
Your nervous system and your brain are so incredibly wise. If you trust them and let them guide your healing journey, you will move forward and progress with stability and balance.
