A flashback is a memory relived as though it were actually happening again. A flashback may be seen, heard, tasted, smelt
or felt. War veterans, torture or concentration camp survivors, people who have been through major disasters such as earthquakes,
tsunamis or terrorist attacks - often experience flashbacks. So do adult survivors of childhood abuse.
In a way, our trauma is harder to deal with, because in all the other cases, the individual had the acknowledgement from
others around them, that what was happening to them was wrong. We faced our childhood trauma often alone, with no one to realise
or empathise with what we were going through.
