you know, seven years old, a being came into my room in the middle of the night.

I was probed.

I felt unsafe.

I was removed.

I have this, you know, fuzzy memory.

And then I was put back in my bed and I felt gross and scared and sad and I had no one to help me.

And...

Again, that is a very blanket sort of selective, you know, description of an experience.

But some people suggested, oh, that's actually perhaps childhood sexual abuse that happened at the hands of an uncle.

And someone came into your room and they sexually abused you and your brain re-remembered it in a way that it was safe to interface with.

Yeah.

What do you think of that theory?

Of course, childhood sexual abuse doesn't explain the go fast video or, you know, the Wilson Davis memo or, you know, an implant perhaps behind your ears, something like that.

So, but I do think it is a relevant piece if we're trying to understand the psychology of what's actually happening to experiencers to consider

These types of things as well.

Oh, sure.

I'm curious if there's other types of theories in that vein that you've heard.

How can we discern that?

Is that from a self-report?

That false memory even exists.
