When a cut fully heals it doesn’t hurt no matter how hard you touch it.  Similarly, when a memory fully heals it doesn’t hurt no matter how hard you think about it.  When you recall a healed memory you remember how upset you were but you don’t feel upset in the present. Often memories only partially heal.  When a memory still has an emotional charge but heals just enough so that you don’t think about it anymore it can cause hidden problems.
