I had a flashback last night. I dont trust my visual memories especially because the memory was of me and the details were different but it was basically the same as a scene I had seen in a movie. What happened to that little girl happened in my flashback. So since I dont trust my visual memory my question was to my counselor can the panic and fear and breathing erratically be made emotions? She said no because those memories are stored in the migdayla in our brain. They feel like they are happening right now. That didn't answer my question. Example: I have a fear of heights and a fear of bridges with water under them. I did not almost die on a bridge in my lifetime and I did not fall off a ladder ( and no I don't believe in past lives) So those became fears for no apparent reason and I panic (made emotions) So is it possible to just have panic and it be a made emotion like I had that scene from the movie come in my mind. Her mom was abusing her, then my mom popped into my head and because it was just a scary thing to think I had panic , breathing difficulty etc (made emotions) or does that make it a valid body memory. I dont think she understands. Am I making sense? Do you guys know the answer to my question?
