Some things better left in the past? - Bacopa

I've been taking bacopa everyday for a while now. It has helped my anxiety quite a bit. My memory has increased a fair bit. Both short term and long term memory.
The problem I seem to be having with bacopa is that a lot of shitty things that have happened in the past are coming back again. Vividly. Both in dreams and just randomly throughout the day. Particularly my past relationships. It's all coming back. With the memories that I was never able to remember much at all before bacopa, come the old feelings. It's the past and I'd rather not remember these past relationships/feelings so damn vividly.
Has anyone who has taken bacopa long term been able to work through this side effect? I really enjoy the memory benefits and less anxiety but I might stop taking it because of this.

I might be an outlier then. I already had a good memory of childhood, recall of conversations across 10 different schools from each years of pre-school, primary school and high school. A lot of stuff other people from those years no longer remember I can bring up in great detail.

Mine is less about being able to, and more about it happening more often randomly. I can remember things well. But on bacopa, I have them pop into my head based on triggers like sounds and smells.
