Honestly, I can see why this would be a relevant topic for this board. While I do not believe I have ever been compelled (either willingly or unknowlingly) to disclose what was in fact a false memory, I have been guilty of becoming "overly invested" in the exagerrated impact a real memory (or memories) has had in my life & development. Doing this has served a couple of purposes:
1. It has validated for me my continued *need* to be in therapy when instinct told me I could probably wrap things up.
2. It has made my therapist feel sucessful in getting to the "roots" of my problems and has given us stuff to work with when in reality there probably wasn't much need to.Kim
