I have a question about the episode Tools for Overcoming Substance & Behavioral Addictions | Ryan Soave and the clip Tolerating Discomfort. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would working to change a person's physiological response immediately after being triggered also diminish the response over time and therefore break the conditioning? Am I right? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and every time they see the spider or get activated through a trigger, they use breathwork to calm the body immediately after being triggered, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
