Horror Desensitization(Espionage/Technical) by Taalismn
This skill training aims to make the recipient less prone to frighten and startle when confronted by the horrifying. Training consists of (over)exposure to graphic imagery(random violence, kittens on fire) and repulsive situations(wallowing in maggots, sleeping with live scorpions, some training programs may include exposure, under closely controlled conditions, to minor supernatural creatures and alien beings), making the trainee less prone to scaring easily. The downside is that the person may lose empathy and become hardened to perceiving others' suffering.
