Gosh! No one replied?
I know exactly what you are describing, but my memories were triggered after EMDR therapy for C-PTSD. The pieces were unintelligible but intense, until they all finally melded together into a comprehensive memory. Then the EMDR again helped me make more sense of the context. Good luck...hope you are feeling better

i get this a lot. sometimes it is really good and i am getting one after the other. i use automatic writing for that.
other times it seems like a key, like i remember someone i never recalled before and suddenly i remember tons of other people that go with that person as well as the events etc. and its such a huge relief and i feel so good about it...it goes on and on like that. amazing how much is in there. wish i had the triggers with me all the time, but people steal photographs of total strangers simply because it looks nice to them...they don't seem to have a clue how much other damage they are doing.

I to am undergoing EMDR. I have only began to scratch the suface. I feel rejuvinated when therapy ends, yet once I am home and journal on it, the emotions overwelm me. The puzzle picute for me right now is slow, I only have one piece. I want so bad to have everything just so I can heal from the trauma. My heart screams I am ready, but my mind still remains locked in that filing cabinet. One thing I have noticed is that I am starting to remember some good times of my childhood, just fleeting thoughts, yet they are good and best of all they are coming back, albeit slowly, but they will in time come

I get back a lot of memories through smell, and dreams - it seems like some passive form of observance helps me gain my bearings slowly. but then you have the complication of having to ask someone else if the dream you had actually happened, which is ok if you have adequate support but still makes you feel a little out of control, not knowing part of who you are.
