- If we can't forget traumatic events but can modify our emotional response to past events, can the changes to a person's character following an event also be reversed or altered? For example, if someone who was once very positive and engaging returns from war or suffers the loss of a parent/spouse and becomes guarded and distant, how much of our 'character' is malleable? Or can people truly become 'stuck in their ways'? This question relates to the episode Interview on Psychopathy with Expert Carl Bruce Gacono, Ph.D., ABAP and the clip Trauma and Character Pathology. It also relates to the episode Psychologist Shows How to CHANGE the Way You THINK About LIFE | Benjamin Hardy and the clip Embracing Post-Traumatic Growth.
