I have so many feelings about this chapter. I remember it being very difficult to read it the first time back in the 90s while I was in therapy dealing with my own demons. I was fortunate to find help from therapists who did not do regression therapy or try to 'recover' memories through hypnosis, but I was aware of people who had fallen into this trap and were harmed by it. The difficulty for victims of childhood abuse is that it often doesn't seem real precisely because it happens at a time during development when the child has no words or context for what is happening to them. For me, my memories of abuse were like being in a room that appeared normal except for one corner that housed a shelf of ugly dolls. The ugly dolls were always there and maybe I didn't recall precisely what they looked like, but I would feel overwhelmed if I caught a glimpse of them so I spent a lot of my energy actively avoiding looking at them. The satanic panic and accusations of making things up by my abuser citing Loftus' work was really difficult for me at the time this book came out. Listening to this chapter today I don't feel at all defensive about it and it was good to fully understand Sagan's intent in writing this chapter. I also feel I received a gift of knowing I am in a much better place than I was when I first read this chapter back in the 90s! Thanks so much for this.

I’m a therapist. My clients have D&A diagnosis and almost all have significant unresolved trauma. They are a vulnerable population deserving of dignity & respect. Therapists who manipulate their clients for the therapist’s benefit, deserve to be stripped of their license. IMO..
