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?

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."
