I have a question about this episode #396: Permission to Grieve with J.S. Park and this Emotional Toll of Caregiving. If the goal is to diminish the physiological response, would working to change the physiological response immediately after being triggered also diminish the response over time 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 by some trigger, they immediately use breathwork to calm the body, would that work like retelling a narrative to extinguish the fear? Did I miss something?
