((phenix)),
I am so sorry you are experiencing these flashbacks, I know how inconvenient it can be.
It is very important that you keep reminding yourself "not now" when they happen, that helps to weaken them. Acknowledging that "yes, that did happen, but I am safe now and these things are not happening to me now" is important to keep doing for yourself.
A lot of self soothing, making sure you have a safe and secure place to go when you get stressed is important. You need to do your best to not feed into these uncomfortable memories, many people who struggle think they "have to" remember, but they can learn to slowly make gains on reducing the severity of the episodes they experience.
However, if you need to come here and "vent" and be validated, that too can help reduce the stress of feeling alone as others understand the challenge too.
