Yeah, Ianto does need comfort now! Poor guy. He has the worst of luck these last couple of weeks. And of course, just like you said already, the writers didn't pay any attention at all to his trauma.
That Ianto isn't an action hero makes me like him all the more. He doesn't do that stuff because he wants to but rather because he feels he must and I think him all the more brave for it. It's comparatively easy getting yourself into dangerous situations if you live for the thrill of it, but Ianto hates it and he still does his job. Especially since he'd have had every reason to wash his hands off Torchwood and the entire alien insanity after Lisa died.
