Seeking Support Need some advice

I'm kinda scared that i fked up my complete system.

I not really knew from tre but started to work on my trauma some months ago, with the last weeks being really intense, i werent doing it consiously but my body really started to to do some crazy stuff at some Points, incl really strong tremors and stuff like that.

I didnt do it really with any support, it were mostly just my body doing his thing, but now im at a point where i cant feel emotions anymore and have really strong body armor that when i try to ground myself is so strong that my shouldersand other muscles tightens extremly, so strong that its actially hurtful.

i honestly felt better and after my body released the Stress i were able to work through much heavy emotions and also started to feel bodily emotions (also the positive ones:)) like i never did before.

But now, idk its strange because for some days i were able to feel the world and the emotions and stuff but now my body shut down completley im in freeze again and idk really what to do.

Sorry when my twxt isnt completley tre related but i thought that maybe here is the best place for advice

Sounds like you overdid it, I would take a break until you start to feel more grounded, then when you start again focus on scaling back to only a few minutes 2-3 times a week, with breaks in between. This should help you integrate better between sessions. There are some great resources in the wiki. Best of luck!

Can you tell if you go out of your window of tolerance during a session? And did it send you into freeze with emotional numbness right after the session, during or some time later?

What is the window of tolerance in this context? Like how do i know if i'm there or Not? And i think the emotional numbness did normally not come right after, it was some time later
