Is it true that the nervous system needs a different input at the right time to change a reaction, as discussed in the episode How Do We Let Go of Childhood Trauma? | Liz Arch on Women of Impact and the clip Embracing Fear? For example, if a person has a fear or phobia that causes a reactive response when encountering a trigger, would a solution be 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?
