Experiencing Tactile Flashbacks: Anyone Else?

yes, medication + years in a “safe environment” + grounding has reduced this a lot for me. i really rely on my grounding (my care team calls it “reality testing) to keep myself from having hours-long flashbacks. i make myself touch, look, and name something in front of me, to the left of me, to the right of me, and behind me. i also move on to what i feel myself standing or sitting on, what i’m wearing, or even walk around to other things around me to keep trying to get my body to realize we are in the present moment and physical space.

I get them all the time for pretty much a feeling or even a smell

Yes I do and it's horrible what I do to ground myself is call someone like my mom or boyfriend. Listen to music calming music like country or jazz.
