PTSD and Trauma recovery

i understand the body memory thing....
growing up i had a very abusive father until the age of nine....

when i was about 24 and had gotten my first apt....
i was sitting watching tv one evening and got a call from a strange woman that said she had someone on the other line that wanted to talk to me.

After a few seconds a mans voice came on the phone......it took me only a few seconds to realize it was my real father......my body/mind reacted instantly and i just fell to the ground hanging up in the same instance.....
It was like i was 8 years old all over again....fear, terror, sadness and all the feelings came rushing back......so yes i do believe that your body has the ability to react to memories....

another instance is when i was 12 i had an extremely high fever..with this fever came tunnel vision.....and to this day..when i see certain hole configurations...i get that same sick in my chest feeling as i did with that tunnel vision.

i know this is not as an instense situation as some have you have been thur but i can totally relate to the body reacxting to past situations..
