You are a survivor and we want to acknowledge this.  \nWe have used the terms “event” and “abuse” to cover all experiences of childhood sexual abuse and adult sexual assault. We refer to she and this also applies to he as we recognise abuse happens also to men and boys.  \nWhat are flashbacks?  \nFlashbacks occur as conscious or unconscious images and thoughts, resulting from part of the central core of your memory of the abuse. Flashbacks are temporary states of remembering something painful or traumatic, which have been hidden for some time in the subconscious mind.  \nThey can last for a few seconds to a few hours. They can appear as vague or vivid recurrent body sensations for which you may have no conscious memory. The sensations and memories occur when triggered by either internal or external circumstances, evoking the original trauma.  \nA flashback, or involuntary recurrent memory in which an individual has a sudden, usually powerful, re-experiencing of a past experience or elements of a past experience.  \nThese experiences can be happy, sad, exciting or any other emotion. The term is used particularly when the memory is recalled involuntarily, and/or when it is so intense that the person \"relives\" the experience, unable to fully recognise it as memory and not something ","cbCailCHiPXdOehm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCailCHiPXdOehm","pdf",332713,28,"English","# About Herts Area Rape Crisis\n## Who is this booklet for?\n## What are flashbacks?\n## When do flashbacks occur?\n## Can flashbacks be controlled?\n## Do flashbacks differ in any way?\n## Helping yourself during a flashback\n## Supporting Survivors of Childhood\n## Sexual Abuse and Sexual Violence Books for Survivors\n## Other support organisations\n## About Herts Area Rape Crisis and Sexual Abuse Centre (HARCSAC)","[{\"question\":\"What are flashbacks, according to the booklet?\",\"answer\":\"Flashbacks are conscious or unconscious images, thoughts, and body sensations linked to the memory of abuse.
