I know for a fact I had PTSD as a child due to parental abuse. Then in my teens from near constant peer abuse ( both physical and mental)(so bad it was almost torture).

Now I have it again, and I'm just wondering if having PTSD once, makes a person more prone to relapses?

The childhood therapy I had never directly addressed PTSD. Not sure any therapist of mine ever has, really.

Well, thank you.

Yes, prior trauma makes you more susceptible to future trauma. However, PTSD never fully goes away. It may get easier to deal with, but I think you're seeing the reality that it never really goes away. I would try to find a T who can help you understand why you keep getting into traumatizing situations and how to help you avoid them in the future.

I hadn't known it never fully went away. That's...interesting. Thank you.
