psychological trauma

[Mortblanc]

We are not discussing PTSD. That is a separate malady to be dealt with or not based on the continuing conditions of overall recovery of all sectors of life.

What is at issue here is the "fight or flight" type response to an immediate problem.

I do take opposition to some of the "only time will tell" theory. After training many hundreds of people over the years you get so you can pretty much tell who is going to cave under stress while still in the training phase. That is one of the reasons for training. Not only is it a conditioning effort, it is also a weeding out process.
