Why is it important to practice calming techniques during controlled stress?
I have a question about this episode How to Achieve Optimal Rest and Recovery | Dr. Kirk Parsley and this Decreasing Amygdala Tone. The whole point of that is to diminish the physiological response, right? If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, then if the 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 the person sees the spider or gets 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?
