Can you just allow them to be? I get flashbacks from my childhood and from being raped, and I find if I just allow them, they fade away. Sometimes I have to feel the feeling that lies behind them, and then they fade. Or am I just offering the same advice over and over again?

The only other thing worth adding: "This too will pass." It isn't forever.
