EMDR Insights
EMDR is effective for reducing the physiological response to trauma but may not fully address the need for a new narrative and reward attachment. While many have found relief through EMDR, it might not serve as a complete therapy for everyone. Feedback from users, both positive and negative, could help practitioners refine their approaches to better serve individuals dealing with trauma.In this clip

In the episode Erasing Fears & Traumas Based on the Modern Neuroscience of Fear | Huberman Lab Podcast #49 and the clip EMDR Insights, Andrew discusses a process to erase fear and traumas, stating that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative. The goal 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?
