Hello Waif and thank you ever so much.

Theres some great ideas in there - thank you. I already do breathing exercises and it helps to keep me a little calmer about it but doesn't stop them. I'm going to try to fast forward and rewind the flashback too. I also wonder if it is possible to alter the ending of a flashback. Never thought about doing that.

As regards being phobic of flash backs I already am. I just don't think I can cope with the thoughts running through my head over and over again. I do know they aren't really happening but its hard to convince myself of that at the time because the images, feelings and sense of touch is so real. It's not happening but it feels like it may as well be. But maybe the grounding will help with that too.

Well I've got loads of ideas to get my teeth stuck into as regards grounding techniques now so the only thing I can do is to try and put them into practice and see what happens. Practice makes perfect I hope.

Again thank you for all your help. Take care
