CIA Trained Officers to Overcome Fear Through Repeated Stress Inoculation

What was said

"They inoculate you with scenarios designed specifically to trigger your emotional response, even though you have been trained to not trust your emotional response. Over and over again, you have to go through the process of, I feel fear, I have to not accept it. I feel doubt, I have to reject it."

The operative disclosed that CIA training involves months of controlled stress inoculation exercises designed to slow down emotional responses and speed up rational processing. Those who cannot successfully inoculate themselves against fear are cut from the training program at the Farm, revealing a specific methodology for managing fear under extreme operational pressure.
