If you suffer from flashbacks you should work together with a Counsellor/
Advocate to develop your own list of things that you can do to help you to
deal with your flashbacks. The following is just a brief suggestion of what
you could do to help yourself.
A Flashback Technique
- Practice the Breathing to relax technique
- Listen to you favorite or special CD's or tapes
- Curl up on your bed with a teddy or stuffed animal
- Engage in physical exercise
- Find something to keep your mind busy try losing yourself
in another activity
- Don't push flashbacks away, let them happen and deal with them
- Nurture yourself
- Reach out to someone for support. eg. counsellor, friend, partner or
family member.
