I had weird experiences for a few years due to PTSD from a bad physical assault. If there was any movement on either side of me, I would feel panicked & like I needed to duck. Like when a car was just pulling into a parking spot next to me when I was parked. That made me feel like I was still moving. Or even when a waiter walked by me with a menu in the air while I was sitting in a booth. It was very disorienting. It’s been over 7 years but several months ago, I had the somatic feeling all of a sudden like I was in that assault again, so it’s still lingering. Felt it in my body & had the emotional response
I've lived through a lot of trama and have been told I have C PTSD but I don't know if I have flash backs, I have horrible memories and not coping well lately and struggle not to drink, I pray for help and guidance from God but still drink. Thx for the video
It is horrible. It took years to be able to stop it. However, I have to get up, do something physical, mental, to override it. Yes. Mine kept stopping suddenly like a movie reel that stopped always at a certain point. I would feel like I was engaged in the activity, doing chores, until I could shake myself out of it. It wasn't until near 30 that things related, became triggers, like rain.
I love what you do and I have Trauma and Flashbacks but I feel like my mom doesn't understand fully of it 😭😭😭 and that makes feel bad that she doesn't understand it and my name is Ashleigh and I have bipolar and ODD and ADHD too and I don't know what to say to her and I don't know what to do
Do you think the use of EMDR can help people decrease their need for medications that help with flashbacks, nightmares etc? Ie. prazosin. I know you’re not a psychiatrist but would be interested to hear your thoughts. 🙏🏻
Switching camera angles is very disruptive in this video. Its too fast and clunky. Better not to play with editting, just do a straight video to camera.
I find the jumpcuts aren't annoying if you're just listening to the video. Great content regardless!
Thank you!

Hi Ashleigh! Just a thought, maybe you cud try to share this vid w your mom?! I found the vid very helpful w my own understanding. Best wishes!
She will never be able to fully understand it because she is not the one who experiences it.
@@bettina_sk thanks
@@elysianfields8461Good idea x

I use working out and yoga(with mindfulness)
Yes but only for PTSD
Why all the jump cuts in the video?

Maybe just listen and don't watch if it's distracting to you.
