Since I cannot post link, I can only say to google: compulsion to repeat the trauma and read the article by Van Der Kolk.
The article is a great way of understanding the often negative cycle of sufferers, likewise it is useful for carers so they can hopefully avoid the trap of negative cycles (or compulsion to repeat the trauma). The article is a bit dense and academic in language, but still very good and extremely poignant. Van Der Kolk is one of the leading trauma experts in the country.
