Why do some people become resilient after trauma while others develop PTSD, as discussed in the episode Encore - Michaela Haas - Turning Bad Breaks into Breakthroughs and the clip Growth Through Trauma?
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 "Psychologist Shows How to CHANGE the Way You THINK About LIFE | Benjamin Hardy" and the clip "Embracing Post-Traumatic Growth."
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 episode 9 Lessons to Make You Great in 2024 and the clip Grief and Resilience? For instance, I produced a huge 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?
