Remembering is like

[MakersDozn]

We remember significant trauma events, but we block out the feelings until/unless we're ready to deal with them. We don't have memory gaps, but we don't remember absolutely everything; very few people do, including non-survivors.

We do think that some of our behaviors overlap those of CSA survivors, even though we have no memory of any CSA. We've always been extra-sensitive to sensory input, so it's possible that we've simply had extreme reactions to normal touch. But we'll never know, and we don't want to go looking for that kind of information.
