My takeaway is that Troi must be damn good at her job. Count up how much trauma Picard has gone through over the years and still is fit enough to captain the flagship of the fleet. Although Starfleet did seem hesitant on him based on the start of First Contact, but probably not just for the Borg connection, but for everything else too.

Voyager really needed a trauma expert - the shit they went through? And no help dealing with it.
But Neelix was right there.
