Is it possible to mentally block out certain aspects of a sexual assault?

even if you remember the event itself ... can one forgot the more traumatic things that happened?

Yes, your mind can block out certain aspects of the situation and often times you might remember it at a different time, something might happen that triggers that aspect to come out, maybe you hear a shot or see a tramatic episode that triggers somehting in your mind.

absolutly your subconcious deliberately buries trauma to protect you never go there let it go itll only confuse your emotions and screw up your mind

You will never forget what happened, but you can come to trems with it. I would suggest seeing a threapist to talk about it and then you can learn how to deal with the assault in a healthy way. I hope you can over come the assault.

If you really face it, you won't have to block it out. Thats a legitimate trauma. You need to be traumatized to get better. If you block everything out you are going to face serious mental issues, replaying the trauma only inside yourself. People do ****** up things. I was kidnapped when i was 11 from the park right behind my house. I'm not going into details but I was with my best friend, and he did not take the whole ordeal as well as I did. It's only because he keeps replaying the terror like hes a DVR box, and doesn't just face it and let it go. I came to terms that the world is ****** up and I will never be like that person.

I don't know what age you are, but first I suggest talking to someone regarding your situation. If you are not able to go to your parents, maybe there is a teacher or counceler you can speak to. This is not something you would want to go through on your own. I am sorry you had to experience such a thing at any age. I was abused by my father at a younger age. I am now 32. I spent 10 yrs with know contact with that side of my family. I now have a younger sister and am in contact, but from my mind blocking out so much of the past, I didn't even remember my dad having another child. There will be things that will trigger memories. If it is something that persists, try meditation, or hypnosis. Best of luck...

Yes it is possible. The person in question is experiencing something called Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. This may manifest itself differently in each person and appears as a result of a traumatic experience.
It may appear right after the event or may not appear even for years on. Some individuals do block out some of the most disturbing details of a trauma. That is probably what is happening to the person in question.
It would be wise to get help for this disorder for they can sometimes get worse and lead to symptoms like anxiety attacks, difficulty sleeping , nightmares, depression, inability to move on with life in a positive and productive way.

Yes, just the other day I was told of someone who was sexually molested as a child. They don't recall the actual act, but do remember everything leading up to it. It might be some sort of survival tool. The shrink that talked to who told me about this said that though they couldn't remember the act, that if they remembered all of the other details, then it almost surely occured.
He also stated that often it is the terrible threats surrounding the act, more than the act itself that is so traumatizing.
