A recovered memory is an experience of remembering a traumatic event that could not be recalled previously. Until the recovery, the person may not have been aware that the remembered traumatic event occurred.
The existence of recovered memories is controversial. One challenge to the accuracy of the experience of recovered memory can be understanding the role of a psychotherapist in suggesting or evoking a remembrance during the course of therapy.
Recovered memories are sometimes called repressed memories.
