Or a sign of a fake or even planted memory.
I'll tell you a personal story:
when I was a little kid playing outside, a guy approached to me saying he got birds at his home and he could give me one if I go with him. I ran to my father saying what he said asking his permission for a pet. My father got angry, cops were called, he was arrested and I overheard the conversations and even interviewed but as a little kid I didn't understand the fuss and I didn't even think about it at all.
Then several years later when I was teenager I started having these very vivid dreams that I saw myself going with him. I could have told you every street, how to get to the house, how the house looked, birds in cages etc. It all seemed very real. I mentioned my mother my dreams and she told me it didn't happen it was just my imagination. I even tried to trace my steps in my dreams but the streets, houses weren't there. So it wasn't real. My doctor gave a very simple explanation about what was happening : I had grown to an age to understand what the event was about and what it could have been and I was scared and my mind was creating a false "what if" worst case scenario. Basically I was having a realization and freaking about what could have happened - but didn't really happen.
Anyway assuming Wade's stories about a nervous breakdown is true, he could have been trying to find a reason for his breakdown and either the therapist suggestion or his mind could have created an elaborate fake molestation scenario. I'm reminded about all the repressed memory hoopla where a lot of women were suddenly claiming to be abused by their fathers or a male relative. Most of the time they had some problems and wanting to find a reason and creating fake memories by questionable therapists about abuse. When they created that fake memory they were relieved as they found a "reason" for their issues( see a long 1992 paper about it :

Anyway I'm not saying this is the case. he could be simply lying. But personally I get really suspicious when people say a mental specialist helped them uncover or realize abuse.
