Genetic Trauma Responses
Genetic predispositions can heighten sensitivity to fear and trauma, leading to a lower threshold for experiencing distressing events. This isn't a mystical transference of trauma from parent to child, but rather a biological response linked to specific genes. Understanding this can pave the way for effective behavioral treatments that address fear and trauma without altering genetic makeup.In this clip

From a genetics point of view, is trauma passed down through generations as discussed in the episode Erasing Fears & Traumas Based on the Modern Neuroscience of Fear | Huberman Lab Podcast #49 and the clip Inheriting Trauma?
I have a question about a process Dr. Andrew Huberman discusses to erase fear and traumas in his episodes LIVE EVENT Q\&A: Dr. Andrew Huberman Question & Answer in Melbourne, AU, Understanding Childhood Trauma, The Neuroscience of Optimal Performance: Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast, and Understanding Trauma's Roots. He mentions that the first step is to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative, with the goal of diminishing the physiological response. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would changing the physiological response immediately after being triggered also help diminish the physiological response over time and break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and used breathwork to calm the body immediately after being triggered, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
