Oh, now we're into the issues of oversimplifying to summarize complex topics. There are different *kinds* of, or aspects of, memory. Like, muscle memory is when you've done a task enough times, you don't usually have to consciously think about all the steps. And certainly, an effect of trauma can be that memory is distorted or parts are hard to access.
It seems reasonable to me that sense memory - for example, a scent, or a sound - could trigger overwhelming feelings and other negative reactions, even if you don't consciously remember why. But not having a memory you can consciously recall, at all, is, I think, a little unusual. So I would definitely need to dig into my studies to have a better answer for you.
And, to be clear, I'm completely willing to do that, if this isn't an idle question.
