Hi Helen
It is hard when therapy brings up alot of stuff up, often making the flashbacks etc worse. I find grounding can be very helpful for me. So carrying around something with you in your pocket that you can feel that can help bring you back into the present moment. Also self-talk can help so remind yourself that you are safe, that your an adult now and no one is hurting you anymore. Also describing what you can physically see, smell, hear etc using your senses can help bring your awareness back into the present moment too. Hold on there, things will improve over time.
