  Crunchy- your questions have been blowing mine (and the others!) minds!
  And the answer is yes. The reasoning behind blocking out trauma has been attributed to the brain essentially trying to protect itself. By doing this, the brain might block out far more than the trauma in an attempt of self preservation.
  For example, there have been cases of people who experienced traumatic events in childhood. Before they recalled those traumatic events they would find that it wasn’t just the event itself they had forgotten but a significant amount of time before the event as well. Some people may have lost huge chunks of their childhood.
  Events leading up to a traumatic event can be blocked out along with the trauma itself, along with people, places and things around at the time!
