Lesson Overview

21.41 – Managing Somatic Flashbacks (Bodily Trauma Memory) Somatic flashbacks occur when your body re-experiences sensations from past trauma without mental images or context. You might feel sudden tension, nausea, or heart racing out of nowhere. Recognizing it as a body memory, not new danger, helps regain control. Grounding with texture, temperature, or slow breathing guides your system back to the present. Gentle movement, support, or therapeutic guidance can also help release the stored energy. Over time, you’ll learn to ride these waves safely and shorten their impact. Each successful recovery rebuilds trust between mind and body. Healing somatic flashbacks means turning confusion into communication. Your body isn’t betraying you—it’s asking to finish what fear once interrupted. Responding with compassion transforms pain into empowerment.
