I don't know why I think this, I didn't exactly have a perfect childhood or relationship with my father but sometimes I feel as if something horrific happened in my childhood at home, I just can't remember it, there's no proof, no signals of childhood abuse, I just feel as if something could possibly have happened and I can't explain it
Hmm. I think this is a bit of a delicate quandary, because on the one hand, something could have actually happened that is bubbling at the surface; on the other, you could just be being a bit paranoid (probably more likely)!
In terms of advice - I would be wary of fabricating memories that didn't actually occur. Don't try and push yourself too hard to uncover something, as your mind could just start conjuring up false scenarios. Though, if you're absolutely convinced at any point that you've had a genuine realisation/flashback, then I might consider confiding in a close friend or two and seeing a counsellor before deciding your course of action from there.
Excellent point! Is not uncommon that repressed memories uncovered by hypnosis turn out to be false memories. I don't want to discount authentic memories that are uncovered via hypnosis, but it's not an exact science. I hope OP treads lightly and addresses the general feelings of dread and anxiety first and foremost.
