Default How Do I Deal with Flashbacks?

Hi
I get sooo many flash backs and cant cope with them even slightly. I end up a quivvering wreck. Usually i have several in a row. The only way i have found to get myself away from the point of no return is to slap myslef hard in the face and i know thats not good but there are worse ways and i dont want to go down that route. Slapping myself seems to be my only way at the moment. Unfortunately i cant do that in public so i was just wondering if there were any better ways to stop them getting worse and worse. I was on meds (effoxor xl / venlafaxine) but im off them now becuase i have a phobia about any sort of drugs including meds plus im trying to get pregnant. I was ok when i was on them - only one flash back every week or so but not they are back with a vengeance. Any advice at all would be apreciately greatly.
