When will it stop? oh man have I ever asked that question and each time I was told no one knows. It just depends on when a person becomes desensitized from the situations depicted.
I follow a rape crisis counselors advice from when I was having major flashbacks when she was my therapist. She said to write the flashbacks, draw the flashbacks, create with crafts.. anything that I could think of to do. by doing this it tricks the brain into being used to what happened and no longer send the flashbacks out to me to be put together and so on. I go through lots of flashback cycles with each memory of each abuse situation I have gone through and each time I take care of it by following the rape crisis counselors advice they soon go away.
Hang in there it does get better.
