Lesson Overview

25.43 – How to Handle Shame-Based Flashbacks: Shame often hijacks memories, turning survival into self-blame. When flashbacks hit, ground yourself first—notice five things around you, breathe deeply, remind your mind the danger is past. Then, reframe the memory: you reacted to protect yourself, not to invite harm. Speak compassionately to your younger self, replacing judgment with understanding. Writing or therapy can help unpack distorted guilt. Remember, shame thrives in secrecy; it weakens in truth. Healing turns “what’s wrong with me?” into “what happened to me?” That shift restores humanity and softens the echoes of shame.
