Summary

Emotional flashbacks are a hallmark symptom of complex PTSD and one of the most painful repercussions of growing up in dysfunctional family. Emotional flashbacks occur when our unconscious/unresolved childhood trauma is triggered causing us to experience painful emotions of the past.

In today’s episodes we discuss common triggers, how to identify when you are in the midst of a flashback, and tools for coping and healing.
