how does remembering super far back memories work?

459 views

I dont know, if i even worded this right.

But i have this recurring memory(flashback?) Of the ONE time i went to speech therapy when i was like 4 or 5.

I cant even remember what i ate last week but i remember this vividly as if it just happened but its been 11 or 12 years.

How does that work? Why does this happen?

For the most part you don’t get to decide what you remember, your brain just keeps the things in there that it wants based on how pertinent they seemed at the time, usually because they caused some strong emotion or other

For what it’s worth, I also did a few sessions of speech therapy around the same age, and I also remember it vividly. Even things I know for a fact I wasn’t told about second hand
