i had a memory not a flashback and this is harder to handle than a flashback...the memory im having makes me wanna cry. makes me feel horrible...my therapist bought me a stuff animal and told me to use it as my safe animal and she said when i have a flashback hold the little kitty and let the flashback play all the way through. i didnt try it for this one yet and idk if i can handle it....idk why this memory is makin gme so sad not even scared just sad :(
But now your subconscious feels it is safe enough now for you to express the sadness that has been held in for so long. I myself had held in emotions for decades but with realization of the horrendousness of my abuse, seeing where all my misery had come from, I cried for weeks and at times still do along with needing to express all the emotion I had pent up for so long.
You must be getting emotionally stronger now that your subconscious is giving you this memory. The weaker we are the likely our subconscious is to hold back memories until we are strong enough to handle the memory. I know for me my subconscious only waited until I was barely strong enough, which I did not feel like at all, to allow me to come out of denail about the memories I had.
Wish you well in expressing the emotions that had been buried for so long,
