Is it possible to use magic to change deep-rooted physiological manifestations of psychological states? As I progress through the DMH, I have tried an SOP working to invoke courage and banish fear (I've asked questions previously about it here) and after 2 weeks of daily SOPs with that working, it did seem to have some effect in certain situations. It helped me to see situations where I automatically become fearful, and it helped me instead respond more courageously.
But I don't know yet if it helped me to change the more instinctual reactions to certain situations: sometimes in social situations I get 'tight', like a deer caught in headlights, and my senses seem to close down, unable to respond fluidly and easily to what's going on. I journalled a lot before I did the SOP working, and I know why I'm fearful in such situations, but the instinctual response is still there.
