zooropa, in addition to using mindfulness to cope with the symptoms of your flashbacks, are you also doing any trauma work? As I read your efforts to cope with flashbacks and trauma symptoms, and your T's advice on how to cope, I kept thinking well maybe soon this would be a moot point, if you were also doing trauma work and getting at the root of these symptoms. I remember finding it helpful to just think, whenever I had a flashback, "well, soon these will be fewer and farther between. The trauma work that T and I are doing will release all of this and soon I won't have to have these anymore." Just thinking that helped me cope, because I knew we were working on it, and that my T was a trauma expert who was really committed to helping me. Don't know if that would be helpful for you or not.
