New member-flashbacks

2-18-05 I was attacked and robbed. My face was a jig jw puzzle with broken bones, cuts, blood, facing loss of eyesight, and surgery. I did not know who i was when I saw myself. The guy has not been caught. I been getting flashbacks on, and off since then, I do have a doctor, How do you handle them

I had to learn grounding techniques that I learned from therapy (my psychiatrist) she has helped me through numerous traumas, therapy is key with this. Different tecniques work with different people. Reminding yourself that you are here and survived. That you are safe and continue to also talk about what happened to you with the robbery, talking does wonders for healing hon.

I hope they catch this person. I'm so sorry.
