Related Questions
I have a question about the episode 27. The Superpower of Trauma with Hala Kouri and the clip Healing Through Wildness. I also have a question about the episode Ido Portal: The Science & Practice of Movement | Huberman Lab Podcast #77 and the clip Movement and Trauma. Additionally, in the episode Master Your Mind & Change Your Brain - Andrew Huberman | Modern Wisdom 496 and the clip Confronting Trauma, as well as in the episode Dr. David Anderson: The Biology of Aggression, Mating, & Arousal | Huberman Lab Podcast #89 and the clip Tachykinins and Aggression, 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 the person sees the spider or gets activated through some trigger and immediately after uses breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
