If it is true PTSD, it probably won't go away on it's own. A simplified explanation of PTSD is that the event was so traumatic that your mind does not want to process it. However, events need to be processed in order to be put in long term memory instead of being kept in the present. When the event comes to surface in your mind, your mind doesn't allow it to be processed, and the event is avoided. This allows temporary relief, but ultimately ensures that the event will resurface again.
So, the event needs to be processed in order to "get rid of" PTSD.
