Is it true that the nervous system needs a different input at the right time to change a reaction, as discussed in the episode How Do We Let Go of Childhood Trauma? | Liz Arch on Women of Impact and the clip Embracing Fear? For example, if a person has a fear or phobia and their body becomes reactive when they encounter a trigger, would a solution be to try to calm the body with breathwork at that moment? Would this approach provide a different input to the nervous system so that over time it stops being activated by the original trigger? Is this how Pavlov's dogs experiment is used as a tool for changing the nervous system's responses?
I have a question about the episode #1272: COVID-19 & How to Cope with Fear & Anxiety and the clip Managing Uncontrollable Fear. Additionally, I have a question about the episode "Josh Waitzkin on Beginner’s Mind, Self Actualization and More | The Tim Ferriss Show" and the segment on Embracing Urgency. Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that you first 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 the 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?
