It makes sense, though. The Black Widows have to be unshakeable, unbreakable, and torturing themselves actually accustoms them to the pain. At one point, while they still feel pain, they don't react to it. I wouldn't be surprised if Natasha had been forced to do the same.

''I was thinking the same thing - that Natasha probably went through the same, or very similar, training. Although we've never seen a scar on her wrist to show she shackled herself to her bed at night.''

I'm sure they had modified the training methods by the time Natasha went through it.
