Hi, I am sorry you are feeling this way. I am sure this is tough for you. Flashbacks are a way for your mind to tell you that there are unresolved emotions still stored in your system and you still need an emotional Closure from that relationship which you haven’t achieved till now. It’s wise to sit with a therapist in a safe space and Heal the hurt and subconscious so you can move forward in a way that’s healthy for you. Once the emotions are released you will feel ready for a new association and you will move into your life with a new found awareness and learning. You’re brave for asking for help. Stay

I can help you work on achieving emotional closure with your ex. Love and healing ❤️
