Need some advice anyone willing 2 help whos good w. psychology?

ok well lately I have been having a lot of flashbacks from the past and from where I used to live in ny...my dad lives there still, but I am currently living in PA w. my mom %26amp; stepdad, bro, sis. I keep having flashbacks of my dads house and of my dad a lot and sometimes I don't know why I'm having them so I tend to get scared..are these flashbacks normal? is it a sign? does it mean I miss my dad?Need some advice anyone willing 2 help whos good w. psychology?
This could be for a number of reasons. It could be something completely harmless (like missing your dad or his house) to something that indicates a repressed memory coming back. I would suggest talking to someone about it. Talking to your mom or your siblings would be a good start. You can also talk to a school counselor, who could then refer you to another specialist if he/she feels like you need it. Whatever you do though, don't just keep it to yourself and hope it goes away, just in case it could be something serious.Need some advice anyone willing 2 help whos good w. psychology?
It might mean that you miss him or there could be some other stress that's bringing it out. Overall I would probably say it's stress. But that depends on how ';real'; the flashbacks are and whatnot. If they are very vivid and maybe it seems like you are there, I would definitely tell you that you should find someone to talk to. If you have someone to talk to, that might help. Sometimes just getting things off your chest can destress the situation a whole lot.
My advice to you would be to write the flashbacks down... record what you are remembering. Record what you are feeling.





I have an idea that you can unravel this mystery, yourself, by writing and keeping a record of what you are remembering and feeling...





If, however, you are still confused and mystified, seek out some free counseling in your community. Get a professional person to help you out... don't, please don't rely on Yahoo! answers for this kind of help.
I definately think it means you miss your dad. I think it's your minds way of telling you maybe it's time for a phone call or even a visit. It's natural for anyone who is apart from their family. I'm not sure what your relationship is with him but it sounds like there needs to be some bridges mended or something. Give him a call... or maybe talk it over with your mom and siblings first.


Good luck
Normal





We think about someone, so we see them in our ';minds eye';. The way we ';see'; them is the way we REMEMBER seeing them in the past.





I wouldn't call it a flashback. It's a memory of someone you are thinking about. Don't be frightened of memories.
It means that you miss your dad. And you wonder if he misses you just as much. You need to give it a little time for things to balance out. Call him frequently and communicate. You can still do that. Sometimes that can be just as good as being there.
I believe it it your conscious speaking to you.Maybe you do miss your dad If you can keep in contact with him and what you are going through is normal its what we call memories.
I do not have a degree in phsycology but, I think that it is either, you miss your dad.. or something happend there that you can't let go of?





Flash backs are normal. Everyone has them at one point or another.
of course it means you miss your dad.


you keep thinking about him, so call him or something.





maybe go out to see him.
Sounds like it may be post traumatic stress disorder to me.
i would say that you miss the life you use to have with your dad. maybe you could go visit him or he could come see you!
I think you miss your Dad or the house he lives in.
it could mean you just miss him... try and visit soon. maybe that will help.
