It’s not a fabricated memory. SHE WAS IN COUPLES COUNSELING. You know and I know this was about her not granting her husband some cuddles. SHE PULLED THIS ONE INCIDENT OUT OF HER PAST and was using it to excuse herself.
And it must have been the worst incident IN her past. Holy crap. Really nothing compared to many other women.
You don’t understand psychotherapy and depth psychology. Plasticity of emotional memory and fabrication of events is common. I’ve studied this issue and the work of Elizabeth Loftus for many years AND worked with patients to correct false memories implanted by inept therapists.
Dramatizing … and perhaps rewriting … a selected incident to construct a new narrative to explain the various difficulties in her life. I thought of that too. It's kinda what shrinks since Freud have been trained to do: construct a narrative, and literal truth is secondary to dramatic requirements. This may even be therapeutically defensible "if it works," as long as another person isn't injured.
That doesn't mean that the story is a complete fabrication (although that's possible, just as it's possible that she is substituting Kavanaugh for someone else). It would just suggest that she has found it opportune to rearrange her memories to suit a newly arising purpose.
One of my questions would be whether she has had any contact with Kavanaugh since the day in question, and what was the nature of their conversations.
She's a cold fish and needed to give her husband a reason for her constant "I've got a headache tonight" excuses.
What better way for a Dem woman, who donated money to Bill and Hillary Clinton, to explain away her frigidity. Blame a teenage future GOP star.
It might has acted as a turn on for both of them.
