Meanwhile
,
Meredith
’
s
relationship
with
her
father
deteriorated
even
further
(
he
wasn
’
t
exactly
thrilled
that
she
was
now
in
a
lesbian
relationship
)
,
and
she
was
attending
therapy
at
an
almost
compulsive
rate
.
Her
therapists
,
who
had
their
own
values
and
beliefs
driving
their
behavior
,
regularly
insisted
that
it
couldn
’
t
simply
be
Meredith
’
s
highly
stressful
reporting
job
or
her
poor
relationships
that
were
making
her
so
unhappy
;
it
must
be
something
else
,
something
deeper
.
Around
this
time
,
a
new
form
of
treatment
called
repressed
memory
therapy
was
becoming
hugely
popular
.
This
therapy
involved
a
therapist
putting
a
client
into
a
trancelike
state
where
she
was
encouraged
to
root
out
and
reexperience
forgotten
childhood
memories
.
These
memories
were
often
benign
,
but
the
idea
was
that
at
least
a
few
of
them
would
be
traumatic
as
well
.
So
there
you
have
poor
Meredith
,
miserable
and
researching
incest
and
child
molestation
every
day
,
angry
at
her
father
,
having
endured
an
entire
lifetime
of
failed
relationships
with
men
,
and
the
only
person
who
seems
to
understand
her
or
love
her
is
another
woman
who
is
a
survivor
of
incest
.
Oh
,
and
she
’
s
lying
on
a
couch
crying
every
other
day
with
a
therapist
demanding
over
and
over
that
she
remember
something
she
can
’
t
remember
.
And
voilà
,
you
have
a
perfect
recipe
for
an
invented
memory
of
sexual
abuse
that
never
happened
.
Our
mind
’
s
biggest
priority
when
processing
experiences
is
to
interpret
them
in
such
a
way
that
they
will
cohere
with
all
of
our
previous
experiences
,
feelings
,
and
beliefs
.
But
often
we
run
into
life
situations
where
past
and
present
don
’
t
cohere
:
on
such
occasions
,
what
we
’
re
experiencing
in
the
moment
flies
in
the
face
of
everything
we
’
ve
accepted
as
true
and
reasonable
about
our
past
.
In
an
effort
to
achieve
coherence
,
our
mind
will
sometimes
,
in
cases
like
that
,
invent
false
memories
.
By
linking
our
present
experiences
with
that
imagined
past
,
our
mind
allows
us
to
maintain
whatever
meaning
we
already
established
.
As
noted
earlier
,
Meredith
’
s
story
is
not
unique
.
In
fact
,
in
the
1980s
and
early
1990s
,
hundreds
of
innocent
people
were
wrongly
accused
of
sexual
violence
under
similar
circumstances
.
Many
of
them
went
to
prison
for
it
.
For
people
who
were
dissatisfied
with
their
lives
,
these
suggestive
explanations
,
combined
with
the
sensationalizing
media
—
there
were
veritable
epidemics
of
sexual
abuse
and
satanic
violence
going
on
,
and
you
could
be
a
victim
too
—
gave
people
’
s
unconscious
minds
the
incentive
to
fudge
their
memories
a
bit
and
explain
their
current
suffering
in
a
way
that
allowed
them
to
be
victims
and
avoid
responsibility
.
Repressed
memory
therapy
then
acted
as
a
means
to
pull
these
unconscious
desires
out
and
put
them
into
a
seemingly
tangible
form
of
a
memory
.
This
process
,
and
the
state
of
mind
it
resulted
in
,
became
so
common
that
a
name
was
introduced
for
it
:
false
memory
syndrome
.
It
changed
the
way
courtrooms
operate
.
Thousands
of
therapists
were
sued
and
lost
their
licenses
.
Repressed
memory
therapy
fell
out
of
practice
and
was
replaced
by
more
practical
methods
.
Recent
research
has
only
reinforced
the
painful
lesson
of
that
era
:
our
beliefs
are
malleable
,
and
our
memories
are
horribly
unreliable
.
There
’
s
a
lot
of
conventional
wisdom
out
there
telling
you
to
“
trust
yourself
,
”
to
“
go
with
your
gut
,
”
and
all
sorts
of
other
pleasant
-
sounding
clichés
.
