Can you actually forget/repress completely a traumatic event?

Like, say someone experienced some type of abuse as a child. Is it possible for them to repress this event so strongly they don’t remember it in their adult life? Just feel the effects of unexplained mental illness? Or is this just a thing in the movies?

Fun fact, you can actually go blind from seeing something so traumatic but your eyes still see. Your brain will still recognize things put in front of you but you won’t be able to see.
