Major life traumas I have are burned into my memory in great detail like it happened last week. What's the deal with Ford forgetting so?

Many details like not even knowing what year it took place or where it was?

She hasn't forgotten. She has had therapy, she shared the incident with close friends. Apparently it's Kavanaugh with the foggy memory. But he was wasted so how's he supposed to recall something he didn't consider wrong?

Or who was there or how she got there or how she got home. I suspect her entire high school experience is a black-out blur, as Katy Perry would say.
