Reversing Operant Conditioning?

@Samara oh ok, clearer now thx and agreed and re: “they were horrified. I only discussed it with people who have a little more depth or morbid curiosity than the average person” LOL everyone needs more of those in their circles.
@Frod Sorry to have inadvertently triggered you with the abbreviation ;) The T&R I was referring to is Judith Herman’s book called Trauma and Recovery

Following the intro and some psych studies history, the book provides within such chapters relevant to PTSD and C-PTSD and the associated experiences as:
Chapter 2: Terror
Chapter 3: Disconnection
Chapter 4: Captivity

SEKTO:
For the course I described above, we are using a textbook entitled Learning and Memory (second edition) by Purdy, Markham, Schwartz, and Gordon.
This book has whole chapters explaining the answers to questions just such as the one asked in the original post of this thread.
