Once I found that kind of perspective, I found it rather less frightening. T was very careful to make sure I felt in control all the time during sessions.
Grounding is a good thing to practise, also self soothing techniques. Be gentle with yourself, and hopefully things will get themselves sorted out soon.

Thanks Bluegrey. It was similar to my flashback but not quite the same and less frightening than the flashback was. Thanks for that helpful perspective. I think in my case is possible that my little part is beginning to process some memories. I'm surprised though as she can't trust my adult, and rightly so at the minute, though I'm very much working on this. She trusts t though. She doing well to allow some things, however small to come up. I hope I can sort my adult part out enough to help her, like you say.
Thanks very much for replying and your helpful perspective. I do appreciate it.
