I'm exactly the same way.

I get a snapshot. If I'm lucky or unlucky (whichever the case may be), I'll get an audio "feedback" to tell me more or all of it. Sometimes another snapshot will come, sometimes not.

Now, there are a few that I have a short clip of, and that actually move. Why I do that with some and not others is beyond me. There's no connection between good and bad with that either. No clue.

Before I worked through alot in therapy, I just got the still clips (and not many) with no auditory tape playing for me so that was very difficult. I didn't even know if they were real memories.

Yes, I always see myself in them (no matter if a still pic or a short playing clip) as if I'm standing back or someone else was taking the pick.

You're not alone.
