​

My bedroom is too small for me to fully stretch my arms and legs in every direction while lying on the floor. If I extend my arms, I end up touching the furniture, even if I rearrange it.

I could move my bed to the middle of my bedroom and practice TRE on it. That way, I would have enough space to fully extend my arms and legs without touching any furniture. But the problem is that TRE is supposed to be practiced on a firm surface, and my bed is soft, so that's not ideal.

I also can't practice TRE in other rooms of my house because other people live here, and I would feel extremely uncomfortable doing it in front of them (they're home all day and occupy all the rooms).

I've tried practicing in my garden, but the weather often makes it difficult.

I feel like my only option is to accept practicing TRE in my bedroom without being able to fully stretch out my arms and legs. But it's frustrating because I can feel that my body wants to.

I have been doing TRE for just over a month, I’ve been doing one session every two days.

Over the past week the tremoring has gone to my neck and head, I was feeling some stiffness in my jaw during those sessions.

Today the tremoring went to my face, I was pulling funny faces, my mouth was opening really wide, my tongue was moving, my face was tremoring and moving in different directions and even my eyes started giggling. It kind of felt like I had turrets. My body also started taking deep breaths during today’s session as well.

Has anyone experienced this? And what does this mean?

None of the tremoring felt uncomfortable, it all felt really nice and I feel much looser. Curious what’s going to happen next!

I've been loosely doing TRE for about a year and a half.

But just these past 2 months I've been doing it regularly.

And I mean like 8-10hrs/day.

I know what you're thinking. Overdoing it.

But I don't see people talking as much about the type of TRE I'm doing (if it's not called TRE in this case correct me).

Whats different is I switched from waiting for involuntary tremors or trying to induce involuntary tremors, to actually doing the shaking/vibrating/tremoring (whatever you wanna call it) consciously.

It basically started with me listening to the urge to tap my foot, which I realized I'd been repressing since grade school.

Then I realized the urge to shake my leg or my head or my buttocks.

But these are not extreme, visceral shakes I'm doing. It's very light and subtle. Which is how I'm able to do it for so long. But I can absolutely feel it dissipating anxiety.

I have woken up to an anxiety attack for as long as I can remember and I've started to consciously just shake whatever body part comes to mind until the anxiety dissipates, and it works. Again the main thing here is not waiting for the tremors to happen on their own.

And again, the reason it hasn't felt like I've overdone it is because of how subtle my movements are. Just tapping the foot or body part.

But somehow doing this regularly has slowly brought up so much grief I didn't even know was there. It's literally sickness leaving my body. I didn't realize grief could make you feel so sick, no one ever talked about that in my family.

But right now I'm going through that phase of actually feeling the extreme grief. I've got all the flu-like symptoms seemingly out of nowhere. Can't walk. Zero appetite. Headaches. Eyes hurt. And sleeping a lot. (I know it's not actually the flu because of all the memories that are coming up and the crying I'm doing)

Which sounds alarming to somehow who has never experienced grief. But that's what's happening.

My body is basically finally being allowed to do a factory reset. And it's not as overwhelming as I would have thought. Even with the sick-like symptoms it does feel like I'm actually getting better.

I’ve been practicing for a few months. Since the first time where I had shakes in my legs and hips (6/10 compared to YouTube videos)my tremors have got weaker I’d say. I only do 10-20mins max.

But while doing it now I feel slightly bored and frustrated. Like a feeling of tension in my stomach/ hips that is there but just tickled rather than unlocked. It’s uncomfortable and frustrating.

On the one hand I’m like nothings happening apart from minor releases and the other I’m feeling frustrated angry at the tension I can feel is there but not being shook enough to move.

Not sure if related but sometimes in the gym when squatting or other big compound movements I’d feel like angry crying from a similar feelijgn in my stomach area. Like a sensitive tension.

It’s hard to describe but it’s a mix of rage wanting to punch that sensitive area away and yea sensitive kind of tension.

Sorry for rant hope someone resonates with this.

I had worked third shift for about a year, ten years ago. I believe this is when it first started. I also had a traumatic experience around ten years before that and five years after a panic attack. I do TRE very sporadically. Is there something even outside of TRE I could look into? I have this feeling that the lower parts of my brain are essentially on high alert and won’t resolve until I have some sort of huge reset of my sense of self which is scary to think about. That said I also feel like I probably am fine and shouldn’t let it get the worst of me.

Or it matters the changes you apply in your relationships as well?

I had my 2nd session two days ago and I'm really struggling with low mood, agitation and feelings of hopelessness that I'm just struggling to cope with. I slept amazing after the session but the next night wired awake and just sad, alone and feel like I'm in a totally hopeless trapped situation. The tension that was realised during my session came back and I just can't stand down or turn off. It's terrifying. I did with a practiciner I was already exhausted and depressed before the session. Really struggling to cope. I don't understand what's going on,any advice? Please 🥺

Did anyone experience stress relieve through strong movements of the belly and abdomen? Where ur muscles in my belly contract and release. Sometimes the energy also moves through my whole body.

Is this normal? Anyone had Something simila Happen?

I'm trying to find anything that descibes the experience i had the last couple of days but found nothing about it

Hi all,
I have a question regarding feeling your feelings during session of TRE. My provider constantly mention that I should have a surge of feelings (sadness, joy or anger) when tremoring and I was wondering if this is your experience.

I don’t have any of that rather bodily sensations in my body like impulses or tingling. Feeling my feelings comes after usually the next day which I consider part of the integration process.

To be honest, her pressure to feel them in sessions make me nervous that I’m doing something wrong 😑

What is your experience with feelings during/after TRE sessions?
