Is it fair to say that the brain can build on traumatic memories, preventing a person from taking actions that could allow them to heal themselves, as discussed in the episodes "Something Scary Happened The Other Day and I Wanted To Talk To You About It | Mel Robbins Podcast" and "478: Are you metabolizing your trauma?" | Functional medicine expert Will Cole, D.C.? For example, I produced a huge activation, which was the largest success of my career, that opened on my mother's birthday. Two weeks later, she died in her sleep. Now, when I attempt to work on large, challenging projects like this one, I can start the process creatively but have great trouble following through on distributing it to people who could help me execute it. Is that a fair analysis of how my mind is perceiving my actions as leading to a similar tragic outcome?
I have a question about the episode Dr. David Spiegel: Using Hypnosis to Enhance Health & Performance | Huberman Lab Podcast #60 and the clip Ketamine and Trauma. In the episode Why You Feel So Anxious All The Time - Dr Russell Kennedy | Modern Wisdom Podcast 563 and the clip Memory and Trauma, Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative. The whole point of that is to diminish the physiological response, right? 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 a trigger, and immediately after use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
