The Time Loop is the name used in They Said Time Would… for a pattern that keeps the past active in the present.
A current resemblance triggers an old expectation. The body reacts, the mind gathers proof and protection moves in a way that can help recreate the feared result.
The term does not mean time never helps or that every reaction belongs to childhood. It names a loop to make the present sequence easier to meet.
