If we can't forget traumatic events but can modify our emotional responses to them, 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 "Unstressable with Robert Sapolsky - Revealing Humanity's Inner Workings" and the clip "Defining Moments."
