For example. A smell, a taste, a song, a place. Can that trigger a 'feeling' attached to a memory you can't recall?
We all know things can 'trigger' a past memory. What I'm saying is, can something 'trigger' a feeling attached to a memory you can't recall. As if the trigger still cues you, but you don't know why.

Yes... Smells in particular can spark immediate emotional response from previous experience. It's the most primal sense.
Sights and sounds will trigger memories, which you then associate with feelings... Smells can tap immediately in to the emotional response part of your brain, which then kicks out appropriate chemicals in response. It's a survival thing.

Isn't a trigger by definition something that awakens a feeling (rather than a memory)? Hence the warning "trigger"? It's always the feelings attached to a given memory that are dangerous, it's the feelings that get you everytime. |

It's always the feelings attached to a given memory that are dangerous, it's the feelings that get you everytime. But I'm talking a deeper emotion. I know we associate feelings with memories. That is what triggers the memory.
What I'm saying is this... Is it possible to see something, or smell something that we can't remember (we experienced it when we were 2 years old, or blacked it out, or something) but a smell, or song, or noise etc... triggers that lost memory. The feeling is still within us, but we don't know why we are being triggered. It just happens.

I would say yes definently, isn't that where phychosis occurs? you have feelings but know not why? Things switch on your rage, jealousy, envy, anger, love, likes etc... but you don't know why because the memory is buried deep but something activated the feeling? |

I suppose... But: I guess, it being all subconscious and all, that you won't really know what you're feeling and/or why.  |
