C. ​selective amnesia—memory loss associated with fleeing a stressful event and developing a new identity

A person has selective amnesia when they are not able to recall some specific information that is associated to a stressful or traumatic event, such as having been physically abused, a stressful divorce, having been fired in an aggressive way, losing a child, etc. It is related to an inability to cope well with a situation so the person mentally flees from it, and sometimes develops certain behaviors that are not characteristic of their personality, as if they were developing a new identity.
