I have a question about the episode Why You Feel So Anxious All The Time - Dr Russell Kennedy | Modern Wisdom Podcast 563 and the clip Memory and Trauma. Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative. The whole point of that is to diminish the physiological response, right? 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? Am I right? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider, but every time they see the spider or get activated through a trigger, and immediately after use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
Does this make sense or align with what Andrew Huberman discussed about erasing fear and trauma and the process required to do that? Can you explain to me the similarities and why meditation seems to work, even though people aren't actually retelling the narrative of the trauma over and over? It seems more like they are watching it and trying to keep their body calm to not engage with it physiologically.
I have heard stories of people who erased trauma through meditation. I guess those people would calm their bodies using breathwork every time a fear, trauma, or distressing thought appeared. They would kind of dissociate themselves from that; they wouldn't see the fear, trauma, or distressing thought as truth. Instead, they would see them for what they actually were: trauma, stories. Then, they would repeat another story to themselves, the one they chose to believe, over and over. They would keep doing this process of just watching the fear and trauma, calming their bodies, and then reminding themselves what they actually wanted to believe in.
