Yes Moxie, it's very hard to explain to others how challenging and "intrusive" emotional flashbacks can be. For those of us who are challenged the one thing none of us want to experience is these often very intrusive and even debilitating emotional flashbacks.

The one thing I have come to see about myself is that I have experienced a lot of things going all the way back in my life that "emotionally" traumatized me. However, a child really doesn't have the ability to understand that and a child tends to try to find ways to distance themselves from the emotional disturbance they are witnessing in their environment growing up. "FEELING" unsafe can become something a child finds a way to get used to "FEELING" and that child may not really realize how that is not really "normal".
