Something scary and/or negative imprints more strongly on your memory, even your physical muscle memory, in order to protect you in the future, it's why if you read a scary story to kids, they will easily remember it later, while happy stories are more bland and slide in, and out...
The reason why you have physical distress when in an abusive situation is your body trying to wind you up to protect yourself, fight, or flight. You stay where you are, and adrenaline, oxygen, blood flow, are pumping extra hard to give you a chance to survive and you don't use it, you get ulcers, high blood pressure, nervous ticks. You have to listen to your body's reaction to situations, you'll save a lot of time if you get out of a relationship the first time you get that negative warning, it's telling you that you're in trouble before your brain does. It's simple survival....
