Winning Through Fear
Overcoming fear isn't about eliminating it; it's about fostering bravery in its presence. Research shows that even artificially induced victories can create lasting confidence, as the brain's winning circuits become more active. This highlights the importance of forward movement and resilience in the face of challenges, suggesting that our experiences shape our ability to succeed.In this clip

I have a question about the episodes Erasing Fears & Traumas Based on the Modern Neuroscience of Fear | Huberman Lab Podcast #49 and Understanding Fear Responses. In the episode The Neuroscience of Optimal Performance: Dr. Andrew Huberman | Rich Roll Podcast, Andrew talks about a process to erase fear and traumas, where he states that first you need to extinguish the fear or trauma by retelling the narrative. The whole point of that is to diminish the physiological response, right? 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? 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? Did I miss something?
