Flashbacks

[Karen]

What can be done to deal with flashbacks which are triggered by anything which is a reminder of a traumatic event?

I wish I knew Briary - I have that problem also.....

I think it needs specialist help.

I set this topic up for someone that had a lot of knowledge about it but I don't think she has been back since.

Meg may be able to get hold of her for you.

Okay Nicola, thanks.

PTSD often responds well to Emotional Freedom Technique.

It usually emerges when the issue has been ignored and not dealt with.

Briary- discuss with your therapist as she may be able to help you as its quite involved.

It is impossible to get out of a problem by using the same kind of thinking that it took to get into it.
