Trauma and Healing
Caroline discusses how trauma, whether severe or minor, leaves a lasting imprint on our bodies and minds. She emphasizes the importance of recognizing these triggers and understanding that while we can't change past experiences, we have the power to reconstruct our internal responses. By acknowledging our feelings and processing them, we can break free from the cycles of trauma that affect our daily lives.In this clip

In 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?
