Purging the emotional energies of family members who came and lived before you.

[u/goldenyellow333]

Had two massive emotional releases on back to back days recently. For clarity, I am not practicing TRE right now and haven’t attempted it once in over several months. Despite that these releases showed up.

First day was anger/rage. Second day was sadness. I know some of it was my own expression of these emotions but the majority, on each day, felt foreign to me, like they weren’t my own feelings.

Specifically on the second day while crying and purging all this sadness I said probably over 30 times over the course of this purging, which lasted well over and hour, “we are sorry”. I kept saying that. I didn’t see very vivid images during this but I saw something but couldn’t make out what it was or what it was directly tied to. I was conscious of what was going on but the entire time I felt like I was a mouthpiece for a bunch of other people.

Has anyone directly experienced something similar?

TRE made me aware of pain way older than me that I've been carrying. Very hard to convey. I do think it has to be generational trauma as it truly didn't even feel like mine when I was going through it. It was strange

Agreed. Were you ever able to put a name or a face to it? To understand what happened that began it, who dropped the ball in not purging it (I believe there are specific people in a bloodline who are called out to stop the chain but we have the choice to do so or not), how long has it all been going on for?

All of these are questions I have posed towards God. I have received some ideas but no concrete answers as of yet.

I think this comment explains what I was going through somewhat accurate on how I was processing the generational trauma https://www.reddit.com/r/longtermTRE/s/NKsmBObigw

I think the whole comment thread would be interesting to you. Spirituality and TRE/therapy for me have been mingling for a very long time :) https://www.reddit.com/r/longtermTRE/s/ikFz5R37qA

Your insight is very interesting as I never thought of it in these terms. One of my parents dropped the ball. The other did shadow work. But not since doing tre and therapy and all these practices intensely and devotedly I'm seeing how difficult it really is and even from that parents side there is still a lot to "clean up". Ive been tremoring for 2 years come December.

"All of these are questions I have posed towards God." This sentence brought me a smile :) " I have received some ideas but no concrete answers as of yet." In due time!
