Does using breathwork to calm my body when triggered mean that I was able to diminish the physiological response to my childhood trauma, even though I didn't use the repetitive retelling of the narrative as discussed in the episode Shanti Medina - Healing From An Abusive Mother and the clip Simple Breath Practices?
If the goal is to diminish the physiological response to trauma, would consistently changing the physiological response immediately after being triggered also diminish the response over time and break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and used breathwork to calm themselves every time they encountered a trigger, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something in the analysis of this approach as discussed in the episode \[Unedited] Rachel Yehuda with Krista Tippett and the clip Healing Trauma Through Breath?
I have a question about this episode 219. Dr. Caroline Leaf: Healing Trauma & Stress with Neuroscience and this Trauma and Healing. 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, would immediately using breathwork to calm the body work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear every time they see the spider or get activated through a trigger? Did I miss something?
