my flashbacks seem to be a lot more emotion and more body memories, i guess. i was wondering if anyone else experiences more of that than feeling like they are back at the event and seeing it.
i struggle with dissociation too, so sometimes it gets very confusing so i don't know what is what, a flashback of some type or dissociation or maybe mixed. i tend to become very afraid out of nowhere and have no actual triggers a lot of the time (except stress is a big one). i always thought flashbacks had to be purely like you were reliving an event but realized they can also be emotion/body based yet not be able to really connect it to an event (for me i do not remember a lot of trauma due to dissociation). |

i a lot of time just experience the emotion and have to determine from that what i could have possibly experienced to make me feel that way. i hope that you are working with a trauma based therapist to help you thru this. i spent a lot of time working with a t that didnt address what was going on and i only got worse.

i have not done trauma therapy just cuz of my dissociation and there is such a wall up and i would shut down and have more dissociation. i am having an increase the last few months because of a lot of change in life and stress though and seeing my psychiatrist more often.
i am hoping one day i can do actual therapy before she retires because like you i have tried to figure out what event(s) have caused what..but because there is so much i don't remember, it's almost impossible to do that in order to process them. i recently had a new kind of memory/flashback, but it was so far away and so strange that i am not sure if it was real or my brain trying to connect my reaction to something so just kind of put something in my head. |

My only flashback was a feeling of absolute terror and me screaming please god no. I didn't understand what had happened. It left me very confused afterwards. More recently I had a similar episode where I regressed into my child self. I was very scared but not as terrified as the flashback. I have no memory of any trauma. I don't know what either was about really. The first one had a very obvious trigger, the second not so obvious.
