re-experiences
Feels it again
Re-experiences is the third-person singular form of re-experience, meaning to experience something again—especially a memory, sensation, or past event.
The term appears frequently in psychology and trauma contexts, where someone re-experiences a traumatic event through flashbacks or intrusive memories: She re-experiences the accident whenever she hears screeching tires.
