reexperiences

Goes through again

Reexperiences is the third-person singular of reexperience—to undergo or feel something again.

The word appears often in clinical contexts describing trauma: She reexperiences the accident in nightmares.

More neutrally, one might reexperience a favorite place or sensation upon returning to it.
