The return of the repressed

The return of the repressed is when repressed elements, often distressing memories, thoughts, or feelings from the conscious mind, have been preserved into the back of your mind into the unconscious. These repressed elements in which only reappear in consciousness or behaviour. A person could forget something, and only remember it again after being reminded of something else or seeing a specific thing.
