In the episode The Neuroscience of Optimal Performance: Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast and the clip Understanding Trauma's Roots, as well as in the episode Ido Portal: The Science & Practice of Movement | Huberman Lab Podcast #77 and the clip Movement and Trauma, Andrew Huberman discusses a process to erase fear and traumas. He states 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, correct?
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?
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?
