When an individual feels triggered, it may not necessarily relate to their present partner but rather to unresolved feelings from previous relationships. Understanding this dynamic can help navigate emotional responses and foster healthier communication.In this clip

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" as discussed in the episode 712: Brad Klontz | Harnessing the Power of Financial Psychology and the clip Flashpoints and Trauma?
Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, as discussed in the episode #427: Vengeance is Grief in Disguise: Letting Go, Moving Forward & Opening Your Heart to Joy Again and the clip Choosing Change? Specifically, how does this relate to the episodes "Something Scary Happened The Other Day and I Wanted To Talk To You About It" and "478: Are you metabolizing your trauma?" with Will Cole, D.C.?
Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, based on the examples from the Huberman Lab Podcast episode 'If You're SICK & TIRED Of Being Pushed Around, WATCH THIS!' with Jenn Cassetta and the clip 'Empathy Through Loss'? For instance, I produced a significant activation, which was the largest success of my career, that opened on my mother's birthday. Two weeks later, she died in her sleep. Now, when I attempt to work on large, challenging projects like this one, I can start the process creatively but have great trouble following through on distributing it to people who could help me execute it. Is that a fair analysis of how my mind is perceiving my actions as leading to a similar tragic outcome?
