Flashbacks can be visual, emotional and contextual. These overwhelming experiences can happen at random times or as nightmares whilst you sleep. Trauma can also cause depression, anxiety, a numbing of emotions and a hypervigilance that prevents relaxing and focusing. Flashbacks are best understood as a traffic jam within the brain, a hyper-aroused nervous system that is always switched on, and a memory system that is overloaded with difficult and horrific past experiences that are both avoided and triggered by life events creating a state of paralysis.
Helping people overcome PTSD and traumatisation, we utilise methods such as EMDR, sensory grounding and relaxation, processing and accommodation of extreme events: moving beyond the past, whilst learning from it, in order to get on with your present and future.
