How does the brain change with meditation?
I have a question about this episode The Hidden Risks of Meditation — Dr. Willoughby Britton | The Tim Ferriss Show and this Scaffolding in Meditation. 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?
