The closest I could come to this would be when I sponge certain areas sometimes I get pictures in my head appear, and I imagine that memories are coming loose. I imagine the same could happen with negative associations, but it hasn't happened in my case. However, I would say that the cold can be associated with upset, no matter where the upset is coming from.
If you want to use energy work to help cope and fight the cold, I recommend sponging the inside of your thighs- I always feel better when I do this.
