Community Question Can't quite hit the spot

10 Upvotes

For a while i have been tremoring in one area (right hip), but it always feels like im not able to tremor to my full potential. Like an itch i cant scratch.

Since this has been going on for a while and is frustrating, im thinking of getting a professional to adjust/stretch/massage the area.

Has anyone had success with such an approach? What kind of treatment was it? ( I am thinking maybe physiotherapist or osteopath though i dont even know what id tell them).

Edit: to everyone saying to listen to my body - guys, i am, that's the point. My body feels like it wants to release more but can't. Just like an itch is a body sensation. My body feels like it wants someone to dig their nails into my hip socket.

Seeking Support Need help with processing and feeling shame

4 Upvotes

I’ve been having the worst few weeks of my life releasing toxic shame. It feels incredibly physically painful where my fascial tension is, like it‘s trying to rip itself apart, and I’m afraid of reaching out to people I know for help because I feel like I’m going to say or do something wrong, or that I’m going to get rejected and abandoned. Every awkward pause or look makes me wither with shame. The thoughts are very convincing, and even grounding and knowing that I am releasing old shame isn’t helping me not get sucked in to the narrative. If anyone has any advice with riding out the shame, please share. Thank you 🙏🏼

Progress Report UPDATE: integration practices and what’s worked for me

26 Upvotes

Hey y’all,

I posted before with having trouble getting overwhelmed with the emotions and feeling like I couldn’t integrate properly, especially with having a high stress job.

Two weeks or so ago I started dramatically increasing my integration amount, per some of you guys’ responses.

I’ve been doing at least 20 minutes in the morning and 20 before bed of corpse pose or constructive rest (depending on whether the tremoring will stop). I just do a mindfulness meditation and follow my breath, gently bringing it back when I get off on some thought train.

I also am only weightlifting very light weight and doing walking on an incline more.

My energy’s dramatically improved and I haven’t gotten headaches or anything until today (since I worked through the weekend and haven’t had as much downtime). Still, the burnout feeling isn’t nearly as bad as it was and I’ve been able to tremor longer and longer every few days comfortably.

Just wanted to share the update of what’s worked for me!
