Abuse: Memory 'triggers'

Talking with an expert about adults recovering from childhood sexual abuse, who have no or dim memories of the abuse, she mentioned these triggers (you'll probably get the connection if I haven't made it clear):

* Lie on your back/stomach only?

* Any special physical behaviors?

* Places you avoid?

* Things/foods you detest (eg. sour milk - given to an uncared-for baby by abusive parents)

* Aversion to bananas - or any kind of food?

* Special routines when you go to bed - covered/uncovered etc.

* Face the door or not when you're asleep?

* Can't stand in queues? Panic when in crowded places (eg. a full aeroplane)?

Any others? --
