Article headline is misleading, but so are the comments on here.

Repressed memories, by definition, are memories that you block. As the article states, the research showed it's simple to overcome so-called "repressed memories" and therefore the traumas associated with them.

The solution assumes that all people block the memories, because of their adult-perspective on the events and what that event means to them now that they're adults.

I think we should take away one thing and one thing only: Majority of the population can be coerced into changing how they perceive a situation, depending on how it's explained to them.

Exxageration--

DR: Oh Sally, you're saying that because you were raped as a little girl, that's why you sleep around so much? Well, you're an adult now. What happened when you were little no longer matters. What matters is how you respond to what happened to you.

Sally: Oh. That's a good way of putting it, doc.
