yes it does get easier . There will be those triggers in life that bring it all back to the surface . In my case each time it gets shorter and shorter . This has come with a lot of therapy and looking my issues in the face . To me it is like a wild beast that I am trying to tame , there is no gaurantee that it will not bite me again . With time and work I can pet it and the bites become less severe. I hope that makes sense to you . Take care of you .
