More trauma thoughts and feelings coming up after successful stabilisation: How to handle it?

Dear community, I made amazing progress with ilf neurofeedback and IFS and experience a lot less flooding, flashbacks, overwhelm, and hyperviligance. Which is amazing, but nearly every day I wake up with thoughts about the trauma and people related to it, its not all about the trauma but a lot related around it. Like one year ago this only happened once a month and now it is basically every night. I hope it is some sort of processing with dreams, but I do not know. But probably like many of us I got used to uncertainty during the healing journey, but still I would love to know if someone else also experienced something similar and what helped you to support processing or if this is a warning signal I am doing something wrong?
