Unhooking Obsolete Programs

Tuere emphasizes the importance of recognizing habitual negative thought patterns as separate from one's true self. By viewing these thoughts as outdated programs, one can cultivate self-awareness and let go of unhelpful narratives during meditation practice.

- I have heard stories of people who erased trauma through meditation. I guess those people would calm their bodies using breathwork every time a fear, trauma, or distressing thought appeared. They would kind of dissociate themselves from that; they wouldn't see the fear, trauma, or distressing thought as truth. Instead, they would see them for what they actually were: trauma, stories. Then, they would repeat another story to themselves, the one they chose to believe, over and over. They would keep doing this process of just watching the fear and trauma, calming their bodies, and then reminding themselves what they actually wanted to believe in. Does this make sense or align with what Andrew Huberman discussed about erasing fear and trauma and the process required to do that? Can you explain to me the similarities and why meditation seems to work, even though people aren't actually retelling the narrative of the trauma over and over? It seems more like they are watching it and trying to keep their body calm to not engage with it physiologically.
