Heal the trauma. Your flashbacks are your body's way of telling you that you are unhealed inside and the topic needs attention.
If flashbacks are triggered by a particular place, setting, object or sound, try to build new, positive memories around what triggers you (if it is safe and comfortable for you to do so).
Do not stop them, appreciate them, embrace them, savour them, accept them, evaluate them, make them a part of your every day life. Thus, you will regain your control.
