Hi

I'm asking people, how do you deal with flashbacks?

My T suggests grounding techniques - being in the here and now, using my five senses in the now, pressing my feet on the ground, telling myself I'm in the present, etc.

What I have been doing is just sitting with the new memories as they come up. Often I find out more truth about what happened and it can be liberating to know the truth. It's like a storm and I just sit with it until it passes. Sometimes its so overwhelming and intense that I can't do anything. What are your thoughts?
