[QUOTE="PretzelPopcorn, post: 1701156, member: 50031"] I am curious if anybody has had a similar experience or C-PTSD feature that is similar to what I experience. (see number 3) When I am startled by a noise or person, I will typically respond 3 different ways: 1) intense fear response and vigilance or avoidance 2) emotional flashback, non-visual or 3) intense visual experience that is similar to the features of a flashback, but is instead about what I believe is about to happen to me in the now. It is not the same as an anticipation of a similar past event, because I am imagining something that has never happened to me. I call these fear visualizations because they seem different than intrusive thoughts. This could be a left over feature of hearing domestic abuse as a child from another room. I responded by visualizing what was happening because I could not see what was happening. Anybody else? Does this have another name? Thanks for your input. [/QUOTE]
