Reexperiencing

Involuntary recurrence of aspects of a traumatic experience, potentially including sensory impressions and a sense of current occurrence. It should be distinguished from deliberate recollection, rumination and a future-oriented image.

A cue associated with a traumatic experience that can prompt emotion or recollection. Its relation may be perceptual, situational or semantic, and need not be consciously recognised at the moment of response.

A form of reliving in which a past event or aspect of it is experienced with a sense of occurring in the present. A bodily conditioned response alone does not identify this phenomenology.
