Yet in classic PTSD, the problem is that the person can not forget the events that cause the disorder. Just as an example, in working with combat veterans, one rarely if ever finds the person can't remember the violent episodes. Just the opposite: the memories intrude, often daily, in both the day time and at night.
I think it is fair to say that there is absolute agreement that PTSD exists. There is less agreement on repressed memories, and it is not accurate to say that the Catholic Church alone is responsible for the different opinions.
In any case --in fact, in every case -- it's good to keep an open mind.
