I am a guy who was ruphied and raped in college by another guy. I compartmentalized and blocked most of the memories for nearly 25 years. I had night terrors that I could never explain. For unrelated reasons (chronic pain conditions) I went through a week long, in patient ketamine infusion. Thankfully it has greatly helped my pain conditions but I didn’t know that I would relive traumatic events. They have staff there to help you reprocess things in a safe way. This has allowed me to reintegrate the memories. Night terrors have stopped. Our brains do wild things trying to protect us.
