Talking to yourself, and telling yourself that your flashback is in the past and YOU are in the here and now helps. Tell yourself that you are safe, no one is hurting you. Holding ice in your hand helps. Strong odors like strong perfume. Keep your senses in the here and now. Touch things and FEEL them with your senses. Look at them, see the texture, feel the texture...Anything to spark your senses to keep your mind in the here and now.
