don t usually remember. if brittani s memory did return, her account of the attack could later be used as evidence. so dr. wright didn t give brittani any of the details out of concern it could create false memories. when people come out of this kind of trauma, they re not sure if this is a memory that they re remembering, or this is something that somebody s told them. if her memory were to come back, we wanted it to just be her memory. as she slowly learned to talk again, brittani seemed stuck in a loop of fear. she would just on repeat, you know, i m afraid, i m afraid. who is this guy that hurt me? why did he hurt me? and you know, what am i going to do if he comes to get me? after months of constant, repetitive therapy brittani s brain did start to rewire itself. and in such a dramatic way it still brings tears to dr. wrights eyes.
