Forgive me if I'm rude: I truly do not think it's "just" an emotional flashback when your H lashes out at you, but also very real maltreatment from him in the present towards you.
I say this because I get emotional flashbacks when I detect even slight irritation in my partner's voice, so I feel you have that happening to you PLUS your H using harsh words, raging, taking anger out on you.
