Yes, that is highly probable. Often what can happen with people who struggle with PTSD is they can be drawn to the very thing that hurt them. It is their minds way of pushing past it by constant exposure. That often doesn't work, one has to work through their trauma, mourn it and heal and develop better coping skills first. It is not unusual for example for a therapist to enter into the field of psychology because they were traumatized or hurt themselves in some way. They are often trying to fix something, and sometimes they heal while helping others heal, but many times doing that therapy work ends up breaking them to where they need help themselves. It is not uncommon for a therapist to have a therapist.

It was time for you to walk away and work on your own healing.
