"Repressed memory is a controversial, and largely unproven claim, that memories for traumatic events may be stored in the unconscious mind and blocked from normal conscious recall.

Despite widespread belief in the phenomenon of repressed memories among laypersons and clinical psychologists, there is no consensus among research psychologists that repression occurs at all.
