How do I calm down in a high-pressure situation and think straight?
I have a question about this episode 219. Dr. Caroline Leaf: Healing Trauma & Stress with Neuroscience and this Trauma and Healing. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, then if a person works to change their physiological response immediately after being triggered, would that over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning?
