Dealing with Traumatic Flashbacks

@Nadia_c_art seconding this, music helps whether its being unable to stop thinking about the bad stuff or my phobias acting up or overwhelm. i use noise cancelling headphones for it when i can (my partner has a pair) but any decent headphones that block out some of my surroundings are good. as for music, depends on exactly how im feeling and whats going on but instrumental music is almost always safe - japanese instrumental math rock is a favourite, but i also use "binaural beats" decently often because they don't capture my music theory focus. classical may work especially if you have favourite composers or performers to look for. and game bgm, especially comforting games (think stardew valley, starbound, minecraft, etc) works well too

@CmcC thank you
