Recovered Memories of Sexual Abuse Explained

Two-part brief animated video by trauma and memory expert Dr. Jim Hopper. Based on the science of how memories are encoded, stored, and retrieved (or not), he explains common causes of going for years without recalling sexual abuse (or other trauma) and then "recovering" memory pieces that were stored in the brain all along. Of course, there are other psychological and brain-based causes of such amnesia and delayed recall, but this video explains how it happens for many people.
