Bringing memories back?

Post Body

I'm currently in therapy and on Sertraline for depression & PTSD. During a recent therapy session, I've realised that I remember absolutely nothing about my Dad. His death is a big part of why I have PTSD, so I think I've blocked memories of him.

When I was kid, he'd take me and my sister to places like the Cotswolds, took us abroad a few times, things like that. I have photos and videos of him there with us, I remember the events, I remember everyone else that was there. But I don't remember him, at all. My singular memory of him is when he died.

Has anyone ever managed to "bring back" memories they've supressed? I'm not entirely convinced I'll properly deal with the PTSD if I'm suppressing memories. It's something me and my therapist are going to be working through, but if anyone else has experienced similar I'd be interested in hearing what worked for you
