I can think of two fairly recent pieces of media that did this to me.

The series 'Midnight Mass' on Netflix dredged up a lot of my religious trauma and forced me to feel it all over again. I have so many issues remaining from being raised a closeted Trans Woman in a Catholic household and constantly bombarded by messages of how wrong, sinful and evil queer people are supposed to be.

On the opposite side, the movie 'I Saw The TV Glow' emotionally devastated me with it's message of refusing to admit what you really are, trying to conform to societal expectations and living in silent desperation with the truth reminding you over and over it's never too late to accept the truth about yourself. I walked out of that film utterly numb and feeling like my entire journey from straight male presenting person to sexually fluid Trans Woman was in that story and how awful and desperate I felt denying that part of myself for decades.
