If you're going through continued trauma, your condition probably IS progressing. Otherwise, to my knowledge, it isn't likely though it's totally possible to stop healing if you aren't putting in the effort.

I agree but for me it feels like nothing stopped but a different types of trauma

I don't know your situation but it's entirely possible you're NOT away from the trauma. I kept telling myself I should be healing recently also and found my progress had stopped and then I realized it was because I was still being abused. I cut my abuser out of my life two weeks ago and life is starting to get better.

Not that easy

It never is. I just gave up the only support I have in dealing with my children because he sexually assaulted me in front of my kids. I have no idea what I'm going to do if I get seriously ill again or my husband ends up in the hospital and needs me to be there (he is missing a lung, has mental health issues and has had a heart attack, so it isn't like he's able to be much support- in fact I needed the caregiving support in dealing with him too). I know it isn't easy. I also know the stress won't get better until you get out of whatever situation is causing it- whether that be a physical interaction or a mental pattern you are repeating.
