[] How does the brain repress memories and not let people remember entire parts of their lives?

Answer 1

Researchers have found little evidence of repressed memories where memories of entire parts of someone’s lives are missing and recovered by therapies like hypnosis or leading questions. Repression is more typically like the avoidance of recalling memories that sometimes occur as part of PTSD or similar disorders.
