...traumatic events that do not fit into prior schema and that are not constructed as narratives and consolidated explicitly in the cortex may be prone to repeated (intrusive) retrieval. Triggers of this implicit and/or explicit retrieval may be perceptual stimuli (a car backfiring), emotional states (fear, anxiety), interpersonal contexts (separation, illness of a caregiver), and language cues (talk about death, explosions). Implicit retrieval would produce a subjective internal experience of trauma-related emotions, bodily sensations, and images which would not be sensed as "self in past."
