emotional flashbacks & making meaning

...See more I have cptsd from several (in number and types) of childhood abuse. I've been in therapy on and off for years but consistently on for the past 3 years. I've done talk therapy, I'm on meds, and have done EMDR (which was the most helpful). But after all that and all the progress I've made, one nightmare can put me in an emotional flashback and downward depression spiral all day (or until I'm able to do what I need to to re-regulate). It just feels so unfair that I am still suffering to this day when I did nothing to deserve what happened to me in the first place. And with all the injustices happening to people everyday, I just don't understand this world we live in and how someone can be so cruel and inflict such harm on another human being. I'm not religious at all (one of my abusers was recommended to my family for childcare by the church) but for anyone who is- do your religious beliefs help you make sense of the evil between people?
