Thank goodness people here understand emotional flashbacks and how real they are. Trying to explain that to people "out there" and they think you are just being a drama queen or over sensitive because the only real flashbacks are the one veterans get who have real PTSD.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
