Have there been stories of people who erased trauma through meditation by calming their bodies using breathwork every time a fear, trauma, or distressing thought appeared? Did those individuals dissociate from those feelings, not seeing the fear, trauma, or distressing thought as truth, but rather as trauma or stories? Did they then repeat another story to themselves, the one they chose to believe, over and over? Did they keep doing the process of observing the fear and trauma, calming their bodies, and reminding themselves of what they actually wanted to believe in?
In this context, 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 the 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?
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 uses breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
