Bringing Ourself Out of Our Condition History

In the West, I think the closest sort of parallel view would be that of desensitization. So let's say somebody is attacked by a dog when they're a little kid and they have this phobia this panic around dogs. They could potentially go through a sort of an exposure treatment where they just gradually approach a dog or something like that. And then hopefully step by step by step, re educates our nervous system the brain that what feels like something really harmful apparently is not.
