I have a question about the episode Dr. Victor Carrión: How to Heal From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the clip Creating Space for Choice. I also want to ask about the episode The Neuroscience of Optimal Performance: Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast and the segment on Understanding Trauma's Roots. 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 the episode Dr. Victor Carrión: How to Heal From Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and the clip Empowering Stress Management. I was watching the "Erasing Fears & Traumas Based on the Modern Neuroscience of Fear" episode from the Huberman Lab, but I got confused in some specific parts. Those are: When Huberman talks about the insula and how to recalibrate this system when the internal reaction is disproportional to external experiences, and the 5 minutes a day exercise using stress exposure or cyclic sigh. Can you clarify these parts for me?
