what do you *do* with the content of your flashbacks?

I’m kinda late to this thread, but I will usually write about it, or paint. I have an abstract painting style so it tends to capture the emotion and sometimes shapes and stick figures.

Many of mine now exist as just memories. Family dysfunction codependency control issues etc. This includes my memories for hospitalization for bacterial meningitis of my brain and almost dying. Husband always wakes me when I scream in my sleep. Most dreams I cannot recall. Very early in my treatment for the trauma of almost dying I was told the flashbacks were just data in my CNS. It took work to get there. This will be a lifelong process.
