What are trauma memories? / How can they show up?

Trauma memories are very similar to triggers in that they cause people to feel a lot of distress.

They often include:

• Vivid or disturbing images of the experience.
• Flashbacks to what happened as if it were going on again.
• Nightmares.

You might jot down in your diary which memories have been causing you the most distress. This will help you to find some control over the memories.
