This evening I had a pretty intense flashback. However, unlike the previous times when I experienced this (where I was essentially frozen and just let it happen), this time I managed to find something to ground me before getting absorbed by the past. I tried to remember my T's voice as much as possible, kept saying things to me that he usually says, and I was even able to imagine what his room looks like. It didn't completely kill the flashback, but it made it much more bearable.
I have heard of the concept of internalizing your T before. I wonder how much/intensely this happens to you guys, if at all? Do you actually hear your Ts voice, can you just imagine what they'd say, or do you not experience this at all?
