Hi restore - love the name, that is exactly what God is going to do for you. He is going to restore you. His promise to us is that He will complete the good work He has begun in us.
OK - flashbacks are the result of a trauma you have experienced, usually in childhood but can be later and are the minds way of bringing to the surface emotions and events - it may seem confusing because there is a whole lot of buried stuff in our sub-conscious that can get mixed with it. Also can be the result of a generational curse or curses.
Firstly I would come to the Lord with this and ask Him to protect your mind - both in the day and when you're sleeping. Then take a check of what you are filling your mind with when you are awake. The sort of music you listen to, the programmes you watch on TV, the books you read. Even though the flashbacks you are having are connected with an incident in the past, however recent or long ago it was. It is important that you do not fill your mind with things that carry the powers of darkness or entice you to sin, or would not be beneficial to you. The word of God tells us to think on things that are pure.
Also you need to daily not just read but to meditate on the word of God - this will renew your mind and get your thinking straight. We need to cast down thoughts that the enemy brings into our mind and speak out the word of God. Just like Jesus did.
Seeing a Doctor and getting Counselling will give you coping strategies and may reveal other things in your past. Raking up stuff from the past to look at it and get an understanding of why flashbacks are happening will not heal you though. Only the power of God can heal those hurts, traumas that bought the flashbacks in the first place.
Also you have to consider your family tree. Generational curses can come down a family line due to specific sins and affect the mind as well as the body.
The Lord Jesus by the power of His blood will set you free from every nightmare, every flashback.

It may take some time for your mind to be healed and for the flashbacks to stop, but they will.
I was abused and had terrible flashbacks for years to the point of being suicidal. Doctors gave me tablets, gave me coping strategies. To recognise what triggered the flashbacks such as a particular piece of music or being in a particular place or maybe certain words I heard. It never stopped them only improved things.

I renewed my mind by the word of God and claimed my healing. Every time a flashback came I would take authority in the name of Jesus over it and it has to go. You can not think and speak at the same time! Learn to be a worshipper - to get intimate with Jesus for in His presence is peace, security and all you need to restore your soul - After all flashbacks are just a symptom of a soul that needs restoring.

The Lord is your shepherd - He leads you beside still waters and restores your soul. Psalm 23.
Consider also receiving prayer for your family tree - and if you need to repent and renounce certain things such as anything of an occultic nature. If your family practiced things of an occultic nature like freemasonry, flashbacks can occur due to that.

The times that it happens when you are asleep, pray before you go to bed. Things will improve as you go deeper with God and trust Him for healing and deliverance. Gods word does not return to Him void but acclomplishes that for which it was sent.

God promises you a sound mind - so claim that promise by faith and believe that God will heal your mind. You may need to talk some things over with a Counsellor - a mature Christian would be best who understands spiritual warfare. Because the enemy does not want you to be free. But that is your choice.

I personally would opt for a Christian as even though a secular counsellor may be good at what they do, you do not know the lifestyle they have when they are not at work and the enemies influences in their life.

I would not want someone speaking into my life unbeleif and sharing my inner heart with someone whose counsel lacks the wisdom of God.
I understand many have been helped by secular counsellors which is good , but this is my personal choice because I have come across difficult situations when their counsel compromised my beleifs.
Also one word from God can set you free in a moment that a secular counsellor would take years and never change anything. I know, it happened to me

So restore - I hope what I have shared has helped you. If you want to see a Doctor or Counsellor that is fine.

But if you know the Lord - He is the best Physician anyone could have - He is your Counsellor, your Healer.
Look to Him and He will set you free.
God bless and I'll be praying for you.

I used to have a lot of negative thoughts run through my head. I pray and then appreciate having a Bible on walkmen tapes, that helps me a lot to renew my thinking and gives me something better to think about. Sometimes you still have to actively ask God to help get bad thoughts out, but having a tool to bring in something good is very helpful too. Also I like Bible on tapes, Bible movies, recordings of christian testimonies, that kind of thing also helps, keeping in christian studies every single day is a great way to help renew the mind.
