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?
