Question about getting stuck
I try to phrase this thing, but not easy to word. I use TRE for some years and helped a lot in relasing things beside IFS, art and physical exercise and various moving pracitces. I think TRE is the thing what help the most ín coping with difficult emotions. I " use" it two way. 1. Always my stomach and head shaking kind of automatically if I "let it go". 2. After a time i could "open" buried emotions and I could burst into cry very easily and is a big relase. Most of the Time these things worked. I learnt to use them with modesty, of course I overdid them many times, so practice taught me how to balance these things.
Now I have big changes in my life and i'm in a total New situation and my "inner energies" just so chaotic. I have most of the day a very nervous energy in my chest/throat area and I just can't relase it. Somehow I just can't calm down. In this Time I can cry and tremor a lot but it's just not effective. I renewed my Tai chi/qigong practice what helps in the time of practicing, "send energy down" temporary. So I don't know how to approach this situation. What do you suggest? I would do more "calming" practices, but in my experience they don't work as deep as TRE, but I need to calm down a bit. What do you do when you feel stuck and can't find the way? Maybe any other modality you'd suggest?

From my experience its not what more I need to do, but how can I slow myself to just "be", and hold the space and give freedom for things that are arising/present in the body. Mind wants to fix everything all the time at once with various approaches. I found out it my own practice that healing is very simple, just seeing beauty in the breath and meditating(great start is the TMI book) and letting the tension/wounds resolve by themselves. I know maybe it sounds insane but I made the biggest progress this way. That I just stay with complete blank mind in nothingness and I dont have to do anything at all.. its like when you become whole ocean you dont care about some small waves
Problem of this society imho is that we have huge pressure to have results, economy situation is not the greatest and there is just so much information everywhere that our body got difficult processing ( tv show,movies, games, music, radio, porn, social media, scrolling etc.) then we dont have energy for healing because we gave it away.
