My therapist and I have discussed this, as it fits me to a 't'. But I'm not medically diagnosed with it.
In my case it all started with my traumatic birth, then living between parental domestic violence with emotional/psychological abuse [and emotional neglect] at home, then quite severe physical and emotional abuse by my peers for 10 years - all situations which carried out every day and from which there was no escape. Then some burglaries, and then re-traumatisation of the childhood stuff when teaching young children.
I'd suggest you have a look at 'Trauma and Recovery' by Judith Herman. There's reputedly several phases of recovery.
