RE: Remembering is like
I think there can be different way i can experience this.

The full flash i think i had this once, i know at least two other people who have similar experience, but when that happened i just didn't understand what was going on, but it's like anyway the memory you have of past event will always have an impact on how you percieve reality at anytime, but with the flash back like thing, it's like the perception of the reality with memory become totally overhelming and i guess there is an aspect yes of loss of identity, loss of perception of the present, or immersion in the memory of the flash back triggered by something, it's the kind of moment when the reaction look totally normal and unquestionable to you, but that everyone else wonder what's going on =) But when this happen it's bad bad lol

There also well the 'micro flash' like dreams or picture or blurred memory flash that can happen, to me it's first stage of the remembering but it mean the memory is still 'too hot' to be fully recovered or something.

With physical trauma, there can be also lot of 'body memory' as body being automatically in certain posture, or certain tension due to either pain or fear, or some area of the body that can be a bit 'disconnected' due to pain or trauma too, with meditation or yoga this kind of things of remembering also the whole trauma + physical pain through relaxation etc i guess it's a bit same kind of things.

The relation between cognition/emotion/physic is always complex anyway, emotion always have an interaction with the physical/physiological side too, it's rather well known that blocked emotion or trauma can also lead to other health problem or vice versa.

The emotional reaction it's already when the mind start to integrate the situation in deeper way than just "flat" flash image, in CBT they say emotion are produced by our cognitive  perception of the world, so if that is true, it mean the emotional flash back is linked also to the integration of this memory with the sense of self also on a cognitive level, even if the emotional intensity make it hard to keep the 're realisation' (opposite of derealisation of dissociation) going or held in the mind for too long without being emotionally overwhelmed by emotion.

When the thing sink fully to me is when the full cognitive realisation can take place and that the system can handle the emotional reaction, both when faced with memory and by events who can trigger this memory, but it's when for me also the person might need to get into a little bit philosophy or spirituality to keep a positive outlook on the world and sorting out a certain number of things that are more of philosophical level too.
