Emotional Flashback Grounding - Trauma Informed

A gentle walk through a grounding exersize for an emotional flashback. In this space we will work on accepting the feelings we may be having, as well as re-orienting ourselves to the present. This is a very calm and slow process, set to gentle music.

Emotional Flashbacks are a common symptom for individuals with Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD), those who have a history of Trauma, or other Mental Health concerns.

I have been returning to this one repeatedly during hard times. Very soothing voice, grounding practice, and affirming for those with CPTSD. Thank you.

Thank you.

thank you, may you be blessed with goodness! 🙏

Very helpful, thanks!

Hope this will help to tackle my intrusive memories.

My inner child loved it

My therapist has talked about crying being an emotional release and I didn't understand this feeling until today. While doing this grounding tears came and instead of feeling worse I could feel the disregulation rolling out of me down my cheeks and dripping away. Thank you and I appreciate you helping me access this feeling when I thought I couldn't. Emotional flashbacks are so exhausting for me and get me stuck in shame spiral and inner critic attack. This recording really helped me get out of the feelings and back into the present. I'm glad today I recognized what I needed and stumbled across your cPTSD sos recording. I needed more and it brought me here and now I feel less trapped in myself. 💜 I will be back many times I'm sure!

Lovely and soft, like a warm hug. Thank you so much, Heidi 🙏🏻💚

A soothing balm for the soul. Thank you. It was lovely. 🙏

Nice comforting thank you. Just coming out of another empath meets narcissist... idolization/devaluation/discard cycle. I get it....I bail asap. But I can never believe I miss the signs from the start 🤔😵‍💫your kind voice and words are soothing ..thank you 😌🙏

I use this one all the time. Gets me out of my flashbacks almost every time. Thank you!

I feel much calmer now, thank you so much. 💚

Thank you namaste 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💚💚💚

There are no words of gratitude large enough for what your tracks just helped me through. 🙏🏻🤍 I was unknowingly in a shame spiral (term I learned here) brought on by an emotional flashback, one I haven’t experienced like this in a long time. I came on to insight timer and searched cptsd and your sos was there, it was even bookmarked, so I listened to it, and then I listened to a few more of the 2-3 min ones, and as I slowly settled, while under blankets and clutching a stuffed koala, I was able to listen to the full emotional flashback track, and it was as if you were present, safely holding space for me while I was unwinding from a large spiral that I didn’t know I was in, I just felt intense overwhelm after a few days of uncomfortable conversations that must have built up to this moment. I used a few strategies I had from therapy, but ultimately the flashbacks had me hostage, I even stated to a friend it was as if all my life’s choices were running through my head like a movie reel, life felt too overwhelming and all I could do was get under blankets, as if to hide, so I did and that’s when I found the SOS with a dog wrapped up almost like me and pressed play.

Thank you for your words of comfort and understanding, I’ve worked with trauma therapist, and have one now, but this was by far the worst flashback I’ve had and my gratitude 🙏🏻 for your help through it is beyond measure. You taught me how I not only can overcome these invisible attacks, but that I was ok, even when everything felt unreal, because what I was experiencing was real, but not permanent. I’ll be sharing this experience with my therapist, giving full credit to your role in helping me ground and unwind, in the moment.

All the therapy tricks in the world can’t compare to hearing someone walk you through these moments. You were a godsend, and I hope you’re days are filled with all joy and happiness you’ve reminded me can exist. 🙏🏻🌈☀️

Thank you ❤💚🌈🙏

Excellent. Will surely come back to this in case of emergency. Thank you Heidi 🌷

A lovely meditation to bring myself into the present, gratitude ✨

I am grateful to you Heidi! Your words rang so true and powerful for me. I was finally able to rest for awhile and calm my anxiety. This is one that is now bookmarked!!!! 🙏❤️

This meditation systematically walks you through a method of helping you with an emotional flashback. I found it helpful & I have returned to it when needed. THANK YOU

I did not know I needed this so much, untill I stumbled upon your recordings ~ this helped me tremendously. Thank you 🌻
Your calm and supportive voice was very helpfull too!

Thank you, I have suffered CPTSD for so long, this was the first meditation to take me through a flashback. Am saving for future use. So grateful right now.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much

Thank you so much. I will coming back to this recording often 🙏🏽🙏🏽

The wording is very thoughtful and well done; brings up emotions but does so in a way of self compassion.

Thank you for this. It was perfect and non triggering. ❤️

Super helpful in bringing me back to the present

Amazing! I went from being in an emotional flashback to feeling calm and present. Thank you!

Really supportive, thank you.

Is there a version available where you recognize you're in the flashback but the triggering situation is currently going in and you can't immediately get away from it?

Thanks you for sharing this with us here. I see you and the light within you. Be well. 🤲🏻💖🤲🏻

Excellent. So helpful.
