General comments which may or may not apply to you: Dissociated memories can involve one or more of several channels, Behavior, Affect, Sensation or Knowledge (Bennett Braun, 1986 I think). Its called the BASK model. In EMDR processing, these channels sre associated. Sometimes they come one at a time, or therapists's deliberately structure or fractionate a memory so it only gets processed one channel at a time, in order to not be flooding. There may be other channels which will spontaneously emerge next time the same target is approached Howevever for what appears to be very early memories, how much knowledge can a baby have? So sometimes there is affect/emotion or body sensation, or bodily behavior, but not knowledge, for preverbal material. Obviously thid is hard to prove,but it seems true clinically.
