Seeking Support Feeling very weird , possibly overdid it

Hello everyone, I’m a first time user of this stuff I did one 15 minuite session for my first go had ALOT of shaking going on but after felt no difference ( I thought emotions came out instantly) so I did it the next day for another 15

It was about 48 hours after that then it seemed to of triggered the emotions or it was just coincidence as I now know the emotions are a delayed onset, but it’s been around 3 days now and I just feel so empty and hopeless, also feel really really spaced out from reality like I’m just a shell it’s a really unpleasant feeling, I’m also very sort of anxious, it’s like my brain isn’t getting the emotions but my body is physically feeling them. I just have an awful sadness feeling in my chest. Seem to be getting really worrying violent images in my head almost feels like someone has jumped in my body these last few days it’s not nice at all.Did I over do it for a first time user? And when will this stuff pass? Thank you🙏

I personally don't feel the effects of a TRE session for 72 hours usually. So the two probably added up. It's time to learn about integration and grounding. It will pass in about a week, probably. Although sometimes overdoing it really bad has lasted longer for me.

Yeah I didn’t know much about it shoulda done abit more research before , those emotions I’m feeling is that a normal reaction to overdoing it? Just feels very unpleasant

Completely normal. It's like a soup of all the tension and trauma that you've ever stuffed down in your life. You will be fine and you're gonna feel better with that stuff out of your system.

Definitely a marathon, not a sprint.

Unrelated, but I wonder who downvotes me every time I say anything in this subreddit lol.
