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

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
