The Cognitive-Behavioral approach to this answer - recovery from trauma, explains it best, I believe.
I was traumatically injured ten years ago. The only way that I have been able to recover with security in my future has been the intervention of positive behaviors and control of rational thought processes.
I know it won't happen again but I will not find myself in a situation like that again. I will not put my trust blindly in someone who I believe to be a friend. I will not excuse reckless behavior under the umbrella of "just having fun" or "enjoying myself", because with those choices come consequences.
You never completely recover from your fears, unless you forget them by dissociating yourself with the attached stimuli. Through new patterns of positive action in place of avoidance behaviors, nervous behavior can be channeled into constructive positive thinking patterns and goals.

Time is honestly the only healer. I am telling you this from experience. I am still not over the first trauma from my childhood and I have been in therapy since I was a child. All that I can say anyone even hugging me makes me cringe. It does get better. But you never forget.

Talk to someone you trust about your trauma (or to a psychologist/psychiatrist). If you want it to eventually subside, I'd say talk about it as much as possible because the fear will become less significant. If you only try to forget about it, there's always a chance that it will come back to haunt you. Also, I would try to focus on what's important to me now & in the future. It's always easier said than done, but it IS possible!
