Hello all -

I've been doing mindfulness meditation for a few years, and one of the things that's taught in that tradition is to turn towards unpleasant emotions and sensations. Which works really well for the normal run of things.

I'm finding, however, if I'm in the process of having one of those partial flashbacks, or the fear is welling up, that turning toward it can make it a whole lot worse. I'm wondering if anyone here meditates, and can share what you do to sit with this kind of experience without it swamping you altogether.

Thanks for any suggestions,
