What this playlist expands

An emotional flashback is an old emotional world entering the present.
- Why do I suddenly feel like a terrified child?
- Why do I feel abandoned even when no one left?
- Why does shame hit like I am back there?
- Why do I not see images, but I feel the past?
- emotional flashbacks may not include images
- old emotional states can return as present reality
- then-now collapse is not weakness
- naming the flashback reduces shame
- time-stamping and dual awareness help restore present orientation
