hi I was wondering if I could connect with individuals in how I can manage flashbacks from time I was in a coma how do you manage when this happens to you as I want to get on with a normal life and this is holding me back !

thankyou

they may not go of their own accord - if you are getting flashbacks and intrusive thoughts as a result of PTSD - then some form of therapy is probably the answer. Has anyone discussed EMDR or CBT with you?

Hello and thankyou for your reply. No I have not heard of either I am currently waiting for input but there is a waiting list. I have been reading since my trauma how to manage and have been writing things down to help me which I was managing ok with but I took ill last October and flashbacks started again they are easing but it is knowing how to manage these. I didn’t have input when I left the hospital initially after a 3 month stay back in 2021 so it’s been ups and downs but finally I thought I got there when these happened again . Have you managed your symptoms ? If so how did you do this thankyou
