    Hey @joubin135 and welcome to the community.

    We're all here for support and I know there's many of us here who have PTSD, so you're safe to discuss things if you feel comfortable doing so. 😊

    Mine are luckily rare now, but they used to be a several times a day occurrence. I found EMDR therapy amazingly helpful.

    I also have ptsd as a result of abuse as a child. I had flashbacks for years but after counselling and reading the courage to heal book I don’t have them anymore. I would strongly suggest counselling. Flashbacks can be so scary and terrifying I feel for you.

    Hi @joubin135 You can talk on the forum safely. No one knows who you are and no one will judge you. It is good to hear you are getting there. Any questions just ask. Take care.
