I have a suggestion for you. "Memories of the Past"
Continue doing your research on the net, If that activity is helping you.
My suggestion: Contact all of your family members for Photos of you and your family at child hood. I am sure there are pictures of you from the Hospital on the day your were born. Birthday Parties, Holidays, family vacations and School pictures will help you remember.
The objective here is to do an auto-biography of your self. Take a single picture and write a short paragraph on the event. Try to locate one, two or more pictures for each year of your life. Then ask your self the following questions.... What, When, Where and How. Ask your friends and family members to assist with any details.
Example: What: Family Picnic at the Lake. When: Your age and year. Where: Sebago Lake, Sebago Maine. How: We traveled by automobile, My Dad's Wagon. Mom and Dad shared the driving.
List the peoples names and ages who were in the Picture and those that were not in the picture.
Soon, you will have a visual and written record of your life.
My two daughters did a video with still Pictures and music for our 30th wedding anniversary. It was so great. All of the pictures were in sequence by season and year. Twice a year I view that video. Each time that I view the video, I am thankful for a good life.
If you should decide to take this suggestion, you will have a clearer memory about the events and the people in your Life.

I tell you something; there is a big difference between letting go of the past and between suppressing it. Probably you are talking about suppression. If you really want to recall all those forgotten memories, try to give your dreams more attention. For example, if you had a dream and you feel it really has something important, and you don't understand it, just pick a person or a place in the dream and try to ask your self "what does it remind me of?"... go in a free association of ideas, this will help you find what lies beneath the ashes. Don't force yourself to remember, this might increase suppression and probably will raise some more anxiety. If I were you I wouldn't try to be wise ( in the common term), I would just try to be myself, to be aware, and awake

I've struggled through life but I can't say I have forgotten my past. I think it is better to remember it because it made me who I am, without that knowledge I would feel lost about self.
How did this happen, how can one get you to forget your past, I don't see how that would be possible? Without knowing that I can't see how I could begin to know how you can undo it.

The past is gone and nothing can change it so let it go. Live in the here and now and learn from new experiences in your life.

They are actually in your head... you just have to remember them. expose yourself to those things you tried to forget and your memory will flood you. Just that. If you don't have it, find a substitute or something like it. Or maybe sit down and relax and try to let your thoughts wander around it a bit and it will come back to you. ;-)

You may have forgiven the bad things but how did you erase your memory? Wisdom comes from experience.

I remember everything. I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.
