- I have a question about this episode How Your Mind Really Works & Why People Are Insecure and How to Fix It and this Memory and Emotion. 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 as a result becomes guarded and distant, how much of our 'character' is malleable? Or can people truly become 'stuck in their ways'?
