Still trying to figure out what's going on with me and had another incident this morning. [I am fairly new here and understand there's some etiquette around trigger warnings. I don't think any of the follow would be triggering but please someone set me straight if I'm posting incorrectly.]
Wondering if there's anyone on here who has flashbacks that involve speech only (i.e. screaming or crying out words that sound like the speech of a very young child), and/or body stuff (e.g. menstrual-like cramps, hand pain, odd hand conformation)? With one exception (that I don't even know is real), I've never had a visual image or feeling of "actual memory" with one of these incidents. I'm just here in the present, feeling emotions, body sensations, and saying words and I don't know why. Anyone who started off with zero memory of any trauma and had/has only this type of flashback? |

here where I am a flashback is remembering as if something is happening for real, its a psychosis type of reaction where sometimes a person may lose touch with reality. example of normal flashbacks that I have..... smelling this mornings breakfast as if I was still cooking or eating it, while at work talking about our mornings. hearing last nights tv show playing in my head as if its on a tv right now while thinking about my childhood hearing in my head, my voice as if i was that child still.... here where I am flashbacks are all mental... a sound, smell, taste, image, emotion.... happening in my mind. sometimes that flashback can seem so real that my behaviors reflect the same behaviors I did during the first time I had that event happen... example my wife was driving the car down a tree lined street, I suddenly felt like I did when I was a child and a tree limb fell on our family car, I physically ducked and yelled the same swear word I did when i was a child. Ive read your past posts, you have a therapist. they would be the best person to ask what these things are with in you and whether its a flashback with you, or your panic anxiety problem or any other mental or physical health problem you may have. even medications can cause a person to suddenly feel like a child during those examples of your life you gave. All I can do is tell you what happens with in me and what my own treatment providers call things in me. |

I think these are called body memories... I could be wrong

Yes,
My flashbacks have some visual content, but they centre around one phrase.
Possible trigger:
From there, it's a slide into medical matters...

I've done that a few times but more often than not, my flashbacks are visual, auditory and every other sense in the book until it passes or someone pulls me out of it. I think Erti had it right that those are body memories. The body and subconscious mind remember things you've stashed away and "forgot" about. It's best to bring it up with your T, though. Tell us what your T says.

Yes, flashbacks can be emotional and even physical. I experience flashbacks in all different ways and it can take me quite a while to actually figure out what the trigger is. It's very important to be patient with self and know that these flashbacks you experience are not your fault and it can take time to understand what the trigger means even though it's something that you experienced years ago.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
