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 If You're SICK & TIRED Of Being Pushed Around, WATCH THIS! | Jenn Cassetta and the clip Empathy Through Loss?

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?
