If I have a thought like "I am afraid," but immediately after I add a new thought "I am safe and confident" and follow it with a confident five-minute walk, would I be creating long-term change and changing the neural pathway more effectively because the physical movement/behavior helps to really lock it in the nervous system?
I have a question about this episode The Hidden Risks of Meditation — Dr. Willoughby Britton | The Tim Ferriss Show and this Scaffolding in Meditation. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would working to change that response immediately after being triggered over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider, and every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, they immediately use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
