I can't rescue me from flashback

[Echoecho]

Whenever my mother talks to me or she approaches me I flashback to when she hit me consistently like she's crazy and I have no help. I can't help but cry endlessly and hide myself under my arms and tremble. I tried the 13 steps but it doesn't work as usual. I can't convince that I'm not in danger. Because she just kept approaching and talking to me even though I beg her.

It's really hard Echoecho to get yourself out of an EF when we're in it. Sometimes, I do not know how to get out either. Just wanted to let you know you're not alone here.
Something that doesn't work for me is: logic. Yes, we know how it works. And it's still here.
So instead of logic, I'm sending you support. Hope it helps.

It can be hard to get out of an EF Echo because we were and are so very afraid. You have help now although it may not seem like it.  Do you think adult you would be able to stand up to her and say "NO MORE!!!"? Bullies tend to back off when we stand up to them although I do know that might be really hard to do. I stood up to my NM and it was hard I'm not going to lie but it did get easier especially when I realized doing so and being abused were both hard so if I took the route of stopping her life might get better (and it did).

Thank you Kizzie. That's helpful. You're right.
