I have a question about this episode 461: Erik Vance | The Curious Science of the Suggestible You and this False Memories. 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 use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear?
