- 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 365: Benjamin Hardy | How to Break Free from Self-Limiting Beliefs and the clip Personality and Passion.
