I have a question about this episode Josh Waitzkin on Beginner’s Mind, Self Actualization and More | The Tim Ferriss Show and this clip Harnessing Triggers. Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, saying 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 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 they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, and immediately after use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear?
