You said that you found the flashbacks fairly overwhelming and had difficulty coping with them. The more you talk about / experience the flashbacks in therapy the more powerful they are likely to get outside therapy.

As such it is important to have some coping strategies in place before you really get in to talking about the flashbacks. So that you can cope and so that you don't get overwhelmed.

It might be that if the therapist is avoiding the topic (which I'm not yet sure they are) that is because they are trying to work within the theraputic window where you aren't overwhelmed.

can you talk to your therapist about this, though?
