Secret, no, it doesn't even completely stop. (However, for newly dx'd, traumatized people there is a medication that they are trying out, to prevent the ptsd.)

BUT you can learn how to not allow it (PTSD) to control your life. You can learn to "retrain" the brain and have better responses to life, even find areas of enjoyment. Find a psychologist who is expert in PTSD and stress management, and you'll be on your way to healing...as best you can.

You do see that things can change, even though by medication. Psychotherapy helps you change the brain chemicals /reactions in much the same way.
