Have you ever had a reaction that felt bigger than the moment?
One minute everything is fine.
The next you’re overwhelmed… crying… spiraling… wondering what just happened.
You tell yourself you’re overreacting.
But your body feels like it’s in danger.
This might be an emotional flashback.

• What emotional flashbacks actually are
• Why they happen (amygdala hijacking + nervous system triggers)
• Signs you may be experiencing one
• Practical tools to calm your body
• How yoga and safe community support healing

Healing begins with awareness.
