Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety serves as a crucial alert system, much like a smoke detector, indicating when something is wrong.

I have a question about the episode 5 Key Steps To Building A NON-ANXIOUS Life With Dr. John Delony | Mind Pump 2177 and the clip Anxiety and Storytelling. 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 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?
