Is it true that the nervous system needs a different input at the right time to change a reaction, as discussed in episode #368: Polyvagal Path: Healing Your Nervous System & Your Life with Dr. Stephen Porges, and the clip Body Awareness Journey? For example, if a person has a fear or phobia and their body becomes reactive when they encounter a trigger, would a solution be to try to calm the body with breathwork at that moment? Would this approach provide a different input to the nervous system so that over time it stops being activated by the original trigger? Is this how Pavlov's dogs experiment is used as a tool for changing the nervous system's responses?
