Constant fear of flashbacks....

[Jenny Blount]

Hi, I'm new to this forum as I've only recently found out the 'phobia' I had about noise was actually an emotional flashback to infancy when my trauma happened.
Despite this realisation I'm still terrified of noise...we've recently moved into a beautiful new house and every noise terrifies me. I'm trying to self soothe but feel overwhelmed and frightened all the time. Any advice, words of comfort greatly needed and appreciated!
I'm on a course for PTSD stabilisation.

Welcome, Jenny! 

Sorry you are having such a hard time with EFs.

Have you ever seen Pete Walkers 13 steps for emotional flashbacks? That might be a good place to start. http://pete-walker.com/13StepsManageFlashbacks.htm

You're not alone.

Thank you mourning dove,
I've seen the Pete Walker stuff and have found it very helpful. I'm also on a PTSD stabilisation course. I'm having difficulty controlling my fear of flashbacks...I guess I just have to go slowly and be very kind to myself.
Which doesn't come easily!
