Does this make sense or align with what Andrew Huberman discussed about erasing fear and trauma and the process required to do that? Can you explain to me the similarities and why meditation seems to work, even though people aren't actually retelling the narrative of the trauma over and over? It seems more like they are watching it and trying to keep their body calm to not engage with it physiologically.
Does the process of erasing trauma through meditation, as you described, align with what Andrew Huberman discussed about erasing fear and trauma? Can you explain the similarities and why meditation seems to work even if people aren't retelling the narrative of the trauma over and over? It seems more like they are observing the trauma and calming their bodies to not engage with it physiologically.
In the episode with Andrew, he talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative. 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?
