I experience flashback trauma every time I step into the shower from the abuse someone did to me. This was several years ago, but I always fear and hate showering. I must push myself to do this only because I have to be at appointments. I hate taking showers and I also hate feeling unwashed. It is a double edged sword. Sometimes I scream in there; sometimes I cry. It's sad to say I haven't overcome my lingering reactions to the trauma there.
