I think the human brain is set up so that we are impacted by "threats" and traumatic events so we talk about it and warn and study so we can learn more but that we also seek change in order to find a sense of safety. If we are left feeling a huge desire of prevention we are more likely to look for reasons why these traumatic situations occur so we can do more to prevent them.

This study is taking place in an effort to understand what is taking place that makes PTSD so challenging. Something was recognized, something we had not understood before, this means we have something more to focus on and perhaps with that find some kind of medication or treatment that can reduce the symptoms, and part of that may include therapies that "yes" help a patient slowly rewire their brain so the symptoms are not so debilitating.

Human beings are learning beings and we most definitely learn our entire lives. We learn by doing and practicing and human beings are very malleable. So, in that we have a tendency to follow along with ideas of what structure is best to live by. We like things that are repetitive and predictable. When something takes place that disrupts that, it can create a lot of disturbance in our sense of having the predictability we have become accustomed to.
