I have a question about this episode Dr. David Anderson: The Biology of Aggression, Mating, & Arousal | Huberman Lab Podcast #89 and this Tachykinins and Aggression. In the episode Erasing Fears & Traumas Based on the Modern Neuroscience of Fear | Huberman Lab Podcast #49 and the clip Deliberate Stress Intervention, Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas by retelling the narrative to extinguish the fear or trauma and diminish the physiological response. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would changing the physiological response immediately after being triggered also diminish the physiological response over time and break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider, and every time they see the spider or get triggered, they use breathwork to calm their body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something in my understanding?
