This phenomenon you call Ugh Fields sounds like a less serious form of PTSD. While most people think PTSD is about constantly reliving the traumatic event, one of the most important symptoms is that the patient tries to avoid thinking through their trauma when it does come up.[1] Something will trigger memory of their trauma, but then they’ll force themselves to stop thinking about it while their mood suffers. One of the methods for treating PTSD [2] involves getting the patient to actually think seriously about the trauma that happened to them, talk it through out loud with somebody, and that confrontation with what they’ve constantly avoided helps them get over the negative conditioning.
I’m fairly certain both Ugh Fields and PTSD describe the same mental process just at different levels of severity
