I have a question about the episode Josh Waitzkin on Beginner’s Mind, Self Actualization and More | The Tim Ferriss Show, specifically regarding Andrew's discussion on embracing urgency, where he talks about a process to erase fear and traumas 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 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?
