I too am having a lot of flashbacks recently. I journal a lot about them and it seems to help after the fact and hopefully in decreasing the frequency. Afterward I also do anything to get grounded especially touching something that is real furniture, car, dishes whatever I am around at the time. I try and tell myself that they are not happening now that it was in the past. Deep breathes also help me get back in the here and now. Distracting myself sometimes helps too.
However, I find it hard in the midst of having a flashback to do anything as I am so overcome by reliving what happened. Does this happen to anyone else? It just seems to take over completly that I have to get to some point before any of this works. I guess I am not explaining myself well but I wondered if it I was different in this.
