Coping with flashbacks & nightmares

Because we become upset and avoid thinking about the trauma, the brain has not been able to process and file the memory away, so any trigger tricks the brain into thinking the even is happening again, right now, and we re-experience all the feelings and sensations as thought it really was happening right now.

Use these coping strategies and grounding techniques during a flashback: Grounding Techniques & Coping with Flashbacks

Use this Discrimination Worksheet PDF before a flashback, so that you can be better prepared to reassure your brain that the event is NOT happening again right now.

Set aside some time every day, maybe 15-20 minutes, to think about the traumatic event and write down some notes.  Try to make it the same time each day, which might be evening time if you have nightmares.  Finish this time by writing down a positive coping statement such as “I survived”, “I’m taking back control of my life”, “I have ……  who/which supports me”.

People who like mantises but aren't that into entomology are always "orchid mantises" this and "orchid mantises" that. Overrated. Can we talk about Toxodera integrifolia for a minute:

(Image links because as much as it pains me I've never seen one of these beauties irl: 1 2 3)

Like how are these things real. Girl what is that thorax shape. Why are you wearing eyeliner. And the colors? Absolutely fire. This is a 10/10 insect if you ask me.
