Is it true that the nervous system needs a different input at the right time to change a reaction, such as calming the body with breathwork when encountering a trigger for a fear or phobia?
Would this approach provide a different input to the nervous system so that over time it stops being activated by the original trigger?
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?
