So sorry that you are having flashbacks! :(

I found this page of grounding techniques you could try: http://did-research.org/treatment/grounding.html. Toward the bottom is a list specifically for flashbacks, so you might look at that first.

Hello and welcome to you, Kc2610! I'm glad you're here.

There's also a free android app my therapist told me about - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jacksontempra.apps.whatsup&hl=en

Hope that helps! Flashbacks can make me nauseated, too. :hug:
