I guess this is luckily being talked about more, but if you have symptoms of a complex dissociative disorder (DID, OSDD-1, P-DID), but you don't remember any "super horrific trauma" that doesn't mean that 1) you don't have a CDD because the trauma "wasn't bad enough" or 2) that there's secret, repressed memories of extreme trauma in your subconscious. Maybe you do remember most of what happened to you, but you've normalised it to yourself as "not that bad". Us trauma survivors tend to minimise our own trauma. One time, a friend of mine had gone to group therapy and everyone was telling bits of their pasts. He was sitting back thinking "wow, they all went through some really terrible stuff. I got lucky that my trauma isn't that bad", but then one of the others came up to him later and told him she was really horrified by his story and how she couldn't imagine having to survive that. And then he realised that even though he knew his childhood had been fucked up, he was still undermining just how bad it was. And honestly, that person who came up to him was doing the same
I'm not saying that you can't have any hidden trauma memories of extreme abuse. You absolutely can, of course - that's the case for many. But also remember that you currently might be brushing off the trauma you do remember. Maybe you think "it wasn't that bad", but do all of you agree? Is there some part of you that will freeze up and panic when you're reminded of that thing from your past? Maybe you don't personally hold the trauma reactions as a part, but perhaps there's some other part of you who's holding onto the trauma, so you can function in your daily life. Just want this to be a reminder to those who need it
