When I closed my eyes, troubling movies, on and on. Open eyes - distorting objects, grotesque faces. Patterns changing. Anyone found how to diminish this? Thanks.

“definition of remorse: a mourning that is out of control and never ends, that can strike out of the bluest of skies, across the softest of snows.”
It would depend, IME/IMO, if they’re really flashbacks (reliving) or intrusive thoughts &/or memories (thoughts & memories).
In my experience, memories are far more gutting & pervasive, than flashbacks. Flashbacks are fairly easily sorted, as they’re they past presenting as if present, there are soooo many ways to disrupt that “misfile”/ “misfire”. EMDR is the most well known, but there are thousands upon thousands of ways to ground out in the present, actively combatting the dual reality in the moment. So that the past takes a back seat. Meanwhile EMDR doesn’t just disrupt the misfire, but actively refiles the past as a memory, rather than a current moment.
Intrusive thoughts, on the other hand, get far more complicated. Like regret/remorse/sorrow/mourning & other heartbreak… I think Frank DeLaney said it best, in relation to my own life.
But other intrusive thoughts are nearly -or far more- gutting, shredding, shattering.
I, personally, only know the ADHD trick of “You cannot control the first thought, you CAN control the second”.
