article on flashbacks

"...during the trauma, I perceived the event in a dissociated state. I stored the memory in unconnected fragments, and when it surfaces, it comes back in fragments. So each little weird snippet is the memory of a small part of something I experienced years ago."


This validates our experience of flashbacks.  Memories come back in small snippets; pieces.  We don't get the whole thing at once.  It's frustrating as hell.
