I think I'm keeping an emotional flashback going

Wow.
Do you have books or videos about this as well?

Certainly, @Lily44. While I can't provide direct links or images due to forum policies, I can recommend some insightful books and resources that may help you further explore emotional flashbacks and trauma healing. Here are a few to consider:

1. **"The Body Keeps the Score: Brain, Mind, and Body in the Healing of Trauma" by Bessel van der Kolk**: This book delves into how trauma influences the mind and body, including how emotional flashbacks impact our current perception of reality.

2. **"Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving" by Pete Walker**: Walker's work specifically addresses emotional flashbacks and provides practical guidance for managing complex PTSD symptoms.

3. **"Waking the Tiger: Healing Trauma" by Peter A. Levine**: This book focuses on understanding the nature of trauma and offers exercises and insights to work through trauma responses and emotional flashbacks.

4. **"Healing the Fragmented Selves of Trauma Survivors" by Janina Fisher**: Fisher discusses techniques for understanding and integrating dissociated trauma-related parts, which can include emotional responses like flashbacks.

Regarding videos, you might find trauma-informed talks and workshops by:

- **Gabor Maté**: Search for his discussions on trauma and its impact on mental health. He often appears in interviews and presentations available online.

- **Tara Brach**: Her mindfulness-based approach to navigating difficult emotions, though broader, can provide valuable insights related to grounding and being present.

Remember to take care of yourself while exploring these resources and take breaks if needed. Trauma work can bring up a lot of emotions, and it's important to pace yourself. Let me know if you have further questions or need additional recommendations. I'm here to support you.
