My therapist told me my flashbacks may never go away completely. But the frequency and the severity of their impact has lessened. TV is a big trigger for me, even commercials. I think once something big impacts your life, be it positive or negative, you are forever changed. I have adopted the attitude that I don't want to be defined by my past though. There is so much more to me.
