Understanding Trauma's Roots
Trauma can lead to a profound confusion about responsibility, often causing individuals to internalize feelings of unworthiness. Accessing the emotional and physical states associated with trauma is crucial for healing, but it must be done under professional guidance. Engaging in intense physical experiences, like ice baths or rigorous exercise, may help individuals manage autonomic arousal and begin to process their trauma effectively.In this clip

I have a question about a process Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses to erase fear and traumas in his episodes LIVE EVENT Q\&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman Question & Answer in Melbourne, AU, Understanding Childhood Trauma, The Neuroscience of Optimal Performance: Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast, and Understanding Trauma's Roots. He mentions that the first step is to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative, with the goal of diminishing the physiological response. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would changing the physiological response immediately after being triggered also help diminish the physiological response over time and break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and used breathwork to calm the body immediately after being triggered, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear?

Did I miss something in my understanding of Andrew Huberman's process to erase fear and traumas in the clip Healing Through Sensation, where he talks about extinguishing the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative to diminish the physiological response? 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? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and used breathwork to calm the body every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear?
I have a question about this episode The Neuroscience of Optimal Performance: Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast and this Understanding Trauma's Roots. Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, and he says 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? 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?
