I am a survivor of childhood incest. All my life I have dealt with the random flashbacks but somehow was able to cope through them. Lately, the flashbacks have become almost constantly triggered and I don't know what to do with them. Do I ride them out? Do I give in to the dissociation? Do I try to work through them?

I try journal them out, I try to distract myself...it doesn't seem to be working, the flashbacks keep intruding and I am getting overwhelmed and hopeless. I am scheduled to see my therapist a month from now and trying to find coping skills to get me through until then.
