I actually don't believe it does happen that way in RL. Oh, most of them, yes - most of the time it took her time to 'modify' events in her head, and she gradually settled down and wondered vaguely why she'd ever thought X. One of the two that stood out is still explicable - when Rushkin beat her, and she substituted the gang. Because in addition to emotional trauma, there was physical trauma, including head injuries.
Her rewrite of Kathy's death, complete enough by the time of Kathy's funeral that she defended her version of it and thought Alan's was completely nuts? I don't, honestly, believe in that, in context. That would have to be a serious psychotic break, I think, which would have implications for Izzy that simply don't happen in the story.
I seriously object to the level and speed of rewriting; I think the latter took it beyond what actually happens without additional issues (that we didn't see in Izzy).
And her constant going-back to it made me want to beat her. :P
