I got molested as a child but i don't remember it and i want to know what is wrong with me?

There may be nothing: Wrong with you or you may be suffering greatly. The fact that you cannot remember is common among sexual abuse victims. It is indeed a common reason for someone to enter therapy. Painful memories can easily be repressed. There's no problem with that as long as they do not affect your mood, behavior, or relationships in adulthood. If they do, then it would be advisable for you to enter therapy to explore the issue further.If you wish to remember what happened, then more of an uncovering psychoanalytictherapy with hypnotic components may be advisable. If you do not wish to remember then that is entirely a decision between you and your therapist and will have a lot to do with both your and your therapists perceptions of your over all psychological strength. Best wishes.
