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 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? Did I miss something?
I have a question about this episode Jason Silva: Break the Cycle of Fear and Doubt with Lewis Howes and this Mindfulness and Modern Anxiety. Andrew Huberman has stated that, perhaps counterintuitively, to control how we feel and perceive things, we need to run the process backward. I'm struggling with this because, on the whole, action follows thought, and even Andrew himself has stated the importance of mindset. What's going on here?
