When Trauma Echoes — Intrusive Thoughts in Trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD

Welcome back to CBT, EMDR, and Beyond—I’m Jaime, a therapist and supervisor specialising in trauma-informed care. In this episode, we explore intrusive thoughts through the lens of trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD.You’ll learn how traumatic memories can resurface as vivid flashbacks, body sensations, or emotional spirals—and why these intrusions feel so real. We’ll unpack the difference between single-event and complex trauma, explore how everyday triggers like social media or sensory cues can reactivate old wounds, and offer gentle grounding tools to help you return to the present.This episode is for insight, not exposure—you won’t be asked to revisit painful memories. We close with a short breathing exercise to support calm and connection.If your mind feels haunted by the past, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a path toward healing.Please subscribe, leave a comment if you wish to ask aquestion or make a request.You can always drop us an email with suggestions to 📩 ⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠🗣️ Talk to a compassionate and kindprofessional expert today  ⁠#onlinetherapy⁠.⁠https://online-cbt.com/online-therapy-bookings-cbt-emdr/⁠Please follow or like the podcast if you wish, and share it withothers.Find us on:👍 FB: ⁠https://www.facebook.com/theonlinetherapyclinicuk⁠📷 IG: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/the.online.therapy.clinic/⁠🎬 YT: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@The.Online.Therapy.Clinic⁠ Hope you enjoy!JaimeDirector and FounderCBT and EMDR therapist and supervisorPS: our service is not an emergency services and emails are not always monitored.
