You may recognize the process of acclimation at work. For students with a severe fear of the firearm, shooting the firearm, the recoil/report, one may need start the student off with a .22 and shooting with eyes closed. You can actually see when they relax and the fear tension runs out of their body.
Then proceed with the steps Mr. Avery proposed.
The 50/50 drills 1 and 2 are all meant to show the student that they are allowing recoil to matter. That they are NOT shooting a real shot the way they dry fire. In dry-fire they aim, and press trigger and nothing more. But, if they aim, press trigger, and do something more... it shows on this drill.
One way to help a student transition from dry-fire to live-fire is illustrated in this video. While I am not big on the overly stylized motions (it's slow, almost painful to watch), the transition is solid.
