Well, that is normalized in that the standard of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about giving you the tools to deal with these feelings you have. There is a push among many to give one's emotions primacy, but obviously simply attempting to suppress them isn't a useful way to do things. It's about recognizing the way you fall into behaviour that isn't productive for you and stop it.

And that's the normalized state-of-the-art in the field, so this is one of those "can we normalize building roads?". Yes, yes we have.

As an aside, did you know 30% of soldiers experiencing severe combat trauma will not get PTSD and 70% of soldiers experiencing combat trauma will not get PTSD? I bet for those in that category, they will simply not understand why the rest feel how they do. But it is how it is. For instance, I can't relate to how it feels to be short.
