While flashbacks and traumatic memories are indeed just thoughts and images and are therefore not dangerous in and of themselves, they may be stored in the brain in a different way because of the high impact of the original experience. If there is actually PTSD and not just a sticky mind, there are additional treatment methods not in this book that may be helpful. It may be worth consulting a trauma specialist for help with the other PTSD symptoms that often go along with flashbacks and difficult memories.
