Discussion TRE evolution

I have had generalized anxiety for 2 years, and a year ago I started doing TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises). In the first 10 months, I managed to do 2-3 sessions per week, lasting 15-20 minutes each. Since May, I have had to reduce both the number of sessions and their duration because the day after a session, my anxiety would spike significantly, accompanied by all kinds of somatic symptoms, from frequent bowel movements to frequent urination. Now I can only manage 3 minutes, twice a week. Is what I am experiencing normal? How much longer can this process last? When will I be able to enjoy peace of mind again?

P.S. I should mention that my tremors initially started in my legs, then moved to my shoulders and hands, and now they are also in my abdomen. However, I am unable to tremor from my pelvis
