It's funny that King felt he had to invent trauma for Booster Gold. In Geoff Johns' Booster Gold run (which is great and you should do on Back Issues), Michael goes back in time to save Barbara Gordon from being shot and paralyzed by the Joker. But, every time he tries to change that event, he just ends up being brutalized and tortured by the Joker, and Barbara always is paralyzed. It turns out that the idea of going back in time to save Barbara was an exercise by Rip Hunter to show Booster that he can't change the past, he can only change the future (meaning that he can't save Blue Beetle). That's fucked. That would traumatize me. But, instead of building off the rich history of these characters, as Crises usually do, King had to completely undermine and assassinate Michael's character. Right after, need I remind you, Dan Jurgens wrote "Booster Shot", where Michael sacrifices everything to save Jon and Lois Kent. Fuck this story. Fuck Heroes in Crisis. Go ComicPOP.

what's crazy to me is that Tom King didn't even need to add all of these extra steps to give Booster Gold trauma and PTSD because the character already had one baked in: His best friend was murdered by the guy who inducted him into the Justice League back in the 80's during the events of Infinite Crisis. He was never given the chance to say goodbye to Ted Kord after it happened, he never personally was given the chance to seek absolution or justice after his death, and he wasn't even in the room when it happened. That's enough baggage to make a guy seek out counseling due to some form of PTSD.
