> When you split off to a younger self, is there anyways that it could be really a flashback? Or is it something different? I really don't know, it was just a thing I was wondering.
**Its a big question. Dissociation is on a long continueum. Daydreaming at one end to full blown DID at the other.
My personal thots is that ALL have an 'inner child'.
I think the child may be the one that *experiences* the flashback, its the part that is triggered, its the part that was hurt in the first place.
My adult self is not triggered into flashbacks,its adult and knows its safe. My adult self has not been hurt in the way the child has. But I(adult me) AM troubled by how the child perceives it, because her emotional and physical response is very strong. So I end up with weird physical response, and a confusing welter of emotions that I not even sure what they are or where the hell they came from. Its just bang, WTF????
So I dunno if I got at what you were asking HF?
take care you ((((HF)))
