Emotional flashbacks can be the worst IMHO, I have them too and I can get triggered and struggle badly for a few days and not really knowing what I am re-experiencing. Sometimes certain things will slowly come to me and I just sit and cry because that child in me did not deserve to "feel and struggle" the way she did and it can be so hard to remember it with my adult mind. I also feel shame in that my husband sees me struggling and having bad days and I feel like a burden and that can bring back how I had felt that as a child too and got messages that sent that message to me.
