It discusses the dual pathways—one calming and the other overwhelming—that can result in dissociation, often triggered by intense experiences.

I have a question about this episode The Hidden Risks of Meditation — Dr. Willoughby Britton | The Tim Ferriss Show and this Meditation and Dissociation. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would working to change that response immediately after being triggered over time also diminish the physiological response and therefore break the conditioning? For example, if a person had a traumatic experience with a spider and every time they see the spider or get activated through some trigger, they immediately use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear?
