We often hear of visual flashbacks in PTSD and trauma. However, visual images or pictures are just one way we can re-experience trauma. Somatic flashbacks are when our body re-experiences pain or the somatic (body based) sensations that we did during the traumatic experience. This information gets encoded alongside the other aspects of the traumatic memory, and we may have physical relations or sensations in this type of flashback.

Emotional flashbacks are like intense emotional time-travel moments. They happen when something in the present reminds you of a past trauma and suddenly you’re flooded with all those overwhelming feelings again. It’s not just remembering the event; it’s reliving the emotions like fear, sadness, or anger without fully understanding why. In those triggering moment you struggle regulating your emotions and might become explosive or reactive without knowing exactly why. These flashbacks can be trigg

Memory flashbacks are well known when it comes to trauma. But, what’s lesser known are cognitive flashbacks, where survivors of trauma vocalize things said to them, or things they never got to say to others in moments of stress, anxiety and tension. Someone may have never said, “STOP, you’re abusing me” to their abuser. So, it’s not uncommon for these kinds of things to come out later in life, many times in relationships with other people, who aren’t actually doing hurtful things to them. But, t

An emotional flashback can hit out of nowhere. You might not see a clear memory, but your body suddenly feels the same fear, heaviness, or panic you felt back then. Emotional flashbacks can remind your nervous system of how it felt during that time, even when you’re safe in the present. It’s not you being dramatic. It’s your body reacting to old survival patterns. If this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Trauma-focused therapy can help you learn how to ground yourself when these moments show up

@itzdomae on Instagram: "Flashbacks can occur for several reasons, often related to past traumatic experiences or significant stress. They may be a symptom of conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, or depression. Flashbacks can feel vivid and overwhelming, as if the person is reliving the event. Triggers such as certain sights, sounds, or smells can provoke these memories. It’s important to understand that experiencing flashbacks is a common response to trauma. Seekin
