Understood. No, these helps don't make any kind of flashbacks "go away" by themselves. It's a beginning though...

It is common for our triggers to be hidden, and our flashbacks seemingly to not be connected to anything. That's why I said to realize what you are sensing IS a flashback... and to tell yourself that it isn't happening now. Breathing helps to "ground" you in that fact: that you are there, or in the HERE and NOW and not whenever the flashback is connected to.

PTSD is a tough disorder. You really do need a therapist who is an expert in how to deal with it, or they will be running around in circles!
