ELI5:How are people trained to withstand torture?

I've heard of various government agents being trained to withstand torture so they don't give away classified information. Is it possible they can make you so strong willed that you can go through the most excruciating painful torture and still keep your mouth shut?

Training gives recruits a chance to practice detecting and avoiding those techniques.
