[quote=Anonymous]I have an excellent long-term memory. Advantages; I am an outstanding speller and fast reader. Majored in English. I can see an unusual name and commit it to memory. I do paralegal work and can spot errors and mistakes easily.

Disadvantages include having to have extensive therapy to deal with a traumatic, chaotic childhood. I'd replay conversations, events and feelings from decades prior on a regular basis. I found EMDR therapy (you identify specific, significant events and discuss with therapist) to be highly effective and nearly curative. My EMDR therapist told me that my vivid memory helped me progress through and make great strides.

Maybe a blessing and a curse. For fun, my childhood friends ask me to tell THEM stories about themselves and I can always fill in details.

Oddly, math and formulas and numbers evaporate in my head, for lack of a better description. I struggle with graphs, maps, charts, figures. Show me a sales chart or a map and...I'll play along and pretend to understand. [/quote]
