Can a flashback be back to an emotion rather than a memory of an experience...

[HereSince1628]

3. I always thought of flashbacks in terms of memories that relived trauma

It never registered with me, and maybe it's an error to frame it so, that a flashback could be returning to a previous traumatic emotional state.

I've often felt like I snap into subroutines of personality that are emotionally/rationally limited...maybe this is also, or instead, a snapping into a previous traumatic emotional state???

And when I say trauma I don't necessarily mean a physically or emotionally abusive event, but something that generates extremely high anxiety or fear.

I've never run into anything about while poking around the internet in search of clues to understanding myself.
