my experience has been, yes. But with ... a lot of painful work. My t did some desensitizing work with me which helped (look up systematic desensitization and exposure therapy); as well as cbt work with some other triggers and i've read about others who used flooding (although that to me sounds like it could further traumatize people). again, there can be a lot of pain and hurt and upset involved but sometimes ... it seems necessary with some triggers to move forward
