Therapy Misconceptions
There's a common misconception that therapy is solely about talk or cognitive approaches, which can limit understanding of its diverse methods. Many people, especially those interested in mental health and personal growth, may find themselves discussing these topics with others. It's crucial to recognize that therapy encompasses a wide range of techniques beyond just cognitive strategies, opening the door to richer conversations and deeper insights.In this clip

Are people seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and the world around them as discussed in the episode "Why We Are So Often Wrong & How to Dial Down Anxiety" and the clip "Happiness Misconceptions"?
I have a question about the episode Jonathan Reisman: The Human Body - From Sex & Sperm to Hands & Heart | Lex Fridman Podcast #297 and the clip Healing Through Understanding. In the episode Stanford Psychiatrist Reveals How Cognitive Therapy Can Cure Your Depression and Anxiety and the clip Perception and Reality, Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas by retelling the narrative. He mentions that the whole point of that process is to diminish the physiological response. 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 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?
