Memory Recovery 

The process when you forget the password (trigger) you have to login (remember) into your email/username/profile/account (memory), often because you need to either:

1. Recall someone's email/username/profile (remember whom someone is when you're talking to them).

2. Flag their Youtube account (cursing out someone/something you know/remember and hate for whatever reason).

3. Send an important document to someone (getting your boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse a gift so that they quit blogging you).

Arthur: Douglas! I need you to Jumpstart my memory!
Doug: ...I don't think a computer game is going to help you remember things!
Arthur: ...Douglas, if life were a cheeseburger, you'd be the pickles: essentially garbage!
Doug: Can we lay off the burger jokes already?!
Arthur: Ok, here's the deal: I have an old phonebook full of names and phone numbers.
Doug: So what's the problem?
Arthur: I can't remember the phone number of the particular John Smith I want to call, because otherwise I'll wind up calling all of them, and going through an awkward conversation with each of them.
Doug: How many John Smith's did you know?
Arthur: One hundred and forty-eight!
Doug: ...I was afraid of this! Deacon warned me this might happen!
Arthur: ...beg your pardon?
Doug: It's like doing password recovery, except it's for your memory!
Arthur: I don't care about this 'memory recovery', we best get a move on! Let's start with something simple, like his favorite shampoo brand: that I do remember about this certain John Smith! It's like playing Monopoly!
Doug: I think you mean Trivial Pursuit.
Arthur: I thought that was Monopoly?
Doug: Monopoly's a board game involving money with an old man on the cover and a Scottish Terrier as one of the game pieces!
Arhur: Oh yes! I remember that game: I hated it, because you either go broke, sent to jail, or find yourself the winner: at the end, you end up with absolutely nothing, except feeling depressed and cheated!

recovered memory therapy 

A discredited form of psychotherapy which typically:
1. assumes that childhood trauma (usually sexual in nature) is the basis of most psychological symptomatology;
2. assumes that people who have no memory of such trauma have probably "repressed" it through some arcane and undemonstrated psychological process, blocking it out of their mind completely;
3. assumes that it is necessary to "recover" these "repressed" memories in order for healing to occur;
4. assumes that methods known to produce false memories, such as hypnosis, guided imagery and EMDR can be used to produce accurate recollections;
5. often assumes that "flashbacks" and body memories are signs that the memories recalled are accurate, because of the mistaken view of the therapist that memory is "like a video tape recorder" that permits playback.
The "recovery" process often recommends cutting off contact with people who question the memories, including but not limited to family members who deny that the events so recalled in fact occurred. Recovered memory therapy is a major source of false memory syndrome, and has led to numerous false allegations of 'Satanic Ritual Abuse.'

"Whilst undergoing hypnosis as part of recovered memory therapy, Sally remembered being forced to kill and eat a baby she had given birth to after her father had raped her. The fact that she was found on medical examination to be an intact virgin suggested the likelihood of false memory syndrome."
