Flashback

Is it really a flash back, when for 30 years I have seen it every single day with and with out closing my eyes, with as much clarity now as then?.

From what I understand, the memories are stuck in your active memory until they are processed, meaning your mind and body still believe they're happening now :( As I've gone through EMDR, a horrible process, but then after I can't see the faces/images anymore, and the emotions that went with them are gone! What a relief! Some of the things the counselor has helped me work through we're from a long te ago, when I was a preteen...they sure were real until they were processed and put where they belong, just memories.

I hope this helps ;) there is another side!

I agree with Sally Sue. The fact that it is so clear and so unchanging is a very good sign it is a flashback.
