What Causes Severe Night Terrors In A Teenager?

My 17 year old daughter has recently begun experiencing night terrors where she typically ends up scratching herself on her arms legs and face. She was molested by her step brother from the age of 6-11...she has had multiple counseling from different individuals over the years. She is experiencing anger toward her father now that she is older, and now feels her father did not protect her as he should have by incarcerating his son. I am thinking these episodes may be a form of surfacing PTSD...but I am looking for guidance in how to help her with these night terrors where she is injuring herself.
