Hi there,
I've never had flashbacks of self harm, but I have had flashbacks of other things. They can be very distressing and I'm sorry you are going through this. My coping strategy used to be to self harm, but I try to think of a really strong emotion. This may sound strange but thinking of a strong happy or pleasant emotion really helped me as it brought be back to real life in a way which gave me good memories so I didn't feel as distressed.
Do you have anyone who you can talk to about this?
