((So leigheas)),

Can I suggest something for you to focus on most? First, the important thing is what you do remember of whatever you are sharing with your therapist. It's important also to keep in mind that if there are "others" that are in this flashback that "intrude" on what you remember, sometimes that can be because "others" especially if they are toxic, will attempt to change the truth and change whatever happened in their own favor. The other thing to keep in mind is whatever your age happens to be in whatever you are sharing. The important thing about this is that if you were younger or even a child, you did not have the ability to understand more than you did at the time and in that you were only capable of reacting in whatever way you did react at the time and it's important to remember that so you don't feed into feeling shame or guilt for whatever you did not do at the time you experienced whatever you are remembering in the flashback.
