I have a question about the episode Lessons from Stoicism and The Military | Nancy Sherman | The Knowledge Project 126 and the clip Emotions and Reflection. Have there been stories of people who erased trauma through meditation by calming their bodies using breathwork every time a fear, trauma, or distressing thought appeared? Did those individuals dissociate from those feelings, not seeing the fear, trauma, or distressing thought as truth, but rather as trauma or stories? Did they then repeat another story to themselves, the one they chose to believe, over and over? Did they keep doing the process of observing the fear and trauma, calming their bodies, and reminding themselves of what they actually wanted to believe in?
