Does anyone deal with really severe flashbacks/night terrors & what are your recommendations for easing them when they do flare up?? I've tried just about every "trick in the book" but it's still upsetting me & driving me crazy.. It's been a reoccurring situation, although I'm open to any new ideas/suggestions!!!

Some people have found relief from severe flashbacks and night terrors through various methods. One person suggested watching a happy movie or playing music before sleeping to create a positive mood. Another recommended journaling after a nightmare to help process thoughts and emotions, as well as using sensory activation techniques like smelling lavender oil or taking a hot shower to ground oneself in the present moment. Some individuals have found medication such as prazosin helpful. Others have used sleep aids like melatonin, meditation before bed, or rewriting the ending of a bad dream or flashback to regain control over the situation.
