So if WP represent sanity/stress, how would they be recovered? Presumably you wouldn't be able to engage in work, adventure, or training - or if you do, you have a penalty to whatever check you need to recover. Likewise, total relaxation or vacation could give a bonus.

For more extreme WP loss, it may require professional intervention from psychiatrists. This would be used mostly to treat "crippling" effects, and would be TL dependent.

I don't know enough about recovering from stress to posit a time scale.
