I want to highlight your point here about PTSD, as it is such a key condition to be aware of. My mentor and thesis advisor, Dr. Lawrence Calhoun, was one of the original founders of Post Traumatic Growth (he offered a paper on it relative to the unified system: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.researchgate.net_publication_8244481-5FThe-5Funification-5Fof-5Fpsychology-5FA-5Fnoble-5Fquest&d=DwIFAg&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=HPo1IXYDhKClogP-UOpybo6Cfxxz-jIYBgjO2gOz4-A&m=4ykAGapQVlZCSVPzsA4MKP_iU2JLMcu0hV6s0NDUJ8U&s=Z4Cj-KiiTaeEG1vvMZYCUdIUX-EMyVtD5zdkAsOEj1U&e=).

Those I have known with PTSD, for example, (my nephew who passed away not long ago is one) seem to be "weathered away" if you know what I mean... like unique land formations that have gone thru a storm, and you can't put back the parts that were etched away.
