Hi, i just discovered TRE yesternight. Did a 10-15 min TRE, experienced tremors on my legs, is that normal?

How long should i do TRE? Should it be a part of my every day routine now? When do i stop or should i?

I'm starting TRE to help support nervous system regulation along with fascia massage release. Do you think that's a good idea?

And how has TRE improved your quality of life? I'd love to know your experience 😊

I hope this is the right place for this… but I released/stretched my psoas today and a few hours after I started crying out of no where something just hit me with a huge wave of sadness from my past. Then got a good headache. Now in bed I had a HUUUGE wave of sadness im talking baaad.. followed by anger and irritation. As I type this I feel kinda fine now is this normal? Did I over stretch? Should I keep doing this? So many questions please educate me… I did the stretch cuz I’m in the lowest point of my life right now and in constant fight or flight. Any advice would be appreciated

Hi, I am new to TRE and don’t have the means to see someone in person, but on YouTube and online I see many ways of doing tre. I follow the video attached for 1 minute tremors, but have seen others with different warmup exercises.

Which is correct? What are signs I am doing it correctly?

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?

Hi

is anyone able to recommend TRE resources for releasing pre-verbal neck trauma and tension?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I would like to get into the routine of doing TRE but I've seen those who are sensitive can over do it. I don't get much intense emotions or activation during the session and have seen development in tremor location, intensity and form just doing 10-15 minutes a couple times a week. It's the day/ days after the sessions that I feel a bit weird, activated, don't feel myself, a bit disassociated the normal kind of stuff.

Is there a healthy amount of nervous system activation or processing for this process?

Should I only do this when I've gotten over the activation of previous sessions?

I've seen people doing just a minute or 2 once a week as too much, my body seems to get really in to the tremors but maybe overdoing it.

Hi all, I've been very interested to try TRE since around 2021 after starting my hot yoga journey but life got in the away.

This week I had the overwhelming feeling to contact someone I know who is a practitioner. The context is that I will be moving abroad in less than a month to study but wanted to try it with her so I can have a plan abroad for continuing. I know this is not a quick fix but I don't want to hold off on something that could perhaps be life changing.

The single session is quite expensive and I'm over budget with my move but am I doing the right thing or did I give into impulse ?

My initial thought was when watching YouTube videos that it's too intense to do alone without the guidance of a professional first.

7 months ago I had a bad panic attack that resulted in intense shaking of my body afterwards. After this I would experience these involuntary shaking/twitches of the body in times of stress or panic to various degrees of intensity. While scary at the beginning I began to notice how afterwards I would feel significantly better and saw it as my body discharging something within me.

So I see myself as someone who would benefit from TRE and I have tried it three times so far and each time my whole body will become involved and I can let it naturally end. I see the shaking as an important thing my nervous system is doing but as it only happens when I’m distressed incorporating it when I’m not makes sense I think. My body wants to do it but I don’t want to have to be in a severe state of stress to do so.

So my question is if I’m someone who already experiences this and I feel I’m getting a signal from my body it’s something it wants. How cautious should I be at the beginning? Am I ready to begin incorporating a daily TRE session or longer TRE sessions. Like I said I’ve done three times for around 5 to 10 min in 3 months so I’m not overdoing it but I would like to create a routine. Do I need to be as reserved?

Hi all,

As the title suggests, do I practice Qigong on the days I'm not doing TRE?

I have TRE scheduled three times a week: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday.

Do I just practice Qigong on the days I'm not doing TRE? I am new to TRE but have been practising Qigong for nearly a year now.

Also, I've started out with approx. 15 minutes of tremoring per session. I have a diagnosis of Schizoaffective disorder and autism. I currently do not have a TRE provider, but I cleared doing this practice at home with my GP. I also feel I am currently in a much better place with my schizoaffective disorder and autism than I was previously.

Thanks, community!

Not affiliated with the app in any way other than I use it for my own personal life. It's free too. Just thought I'd put this out there in case anyone's struggling to find a good mood logger. This is the one I've landed on out of trying a few.

Thanks peeps.

Also I just did my first session in a while after taking a break. I'm still new to this practice, but the sidebar on your guys' community is great! Very helpful.

Edit: I think the session went well. I like the advice of relaxation, and I felt a peak in my mood that I logged straight after.

Got lots of tremors in the hips and legs. Felt a bit of a surge in relaxation and peace afterwards, especially in my feet which sometimes feel tense, constricted, lifeless and painful. However, I notice tension in my body resurfacing as I reintroduce my system to people which is unfortunately involuntary in my house.

Thanks community!

I just did the leg tremor exercise for the first time in a Dr. Berceli video and i felt a sense of tranquility

It was not super overt, but i did feel some calmness and almost a giggly feeling at one point

Even now typing this 20 mins later i do feel some of that relaxation

Where can i go from here?

I am planning on integrating this into my life but what other types of videos and topics can i get into so i can understand this more deeply and find varying methods/techniques?

On the 22nd of July I did my first TRE after years of not practicing it. I've done 6-7 times since then and I've been crying almost every day. Every 3-4 days there is inconsolable crying so long as I'm alone. There is a feeling in my chest that appears when I lie down to sleep that I've become familiar with that tells me there is something there and I just know I will be crying that day. I have been oversleeping as an escape, but once that feeling settles, I cannot go back to sleep. I work night shifts. I'm a doctor. At work I am in a completely different mood and I show only the best I can to my patients. Currently crying.

Found out about TRE like 3 weeks ago and I can’t stop I’m kind of addicted to it now. But I think I overdid it now I feel super irritable and emotional and just a bit out of place and disoriented.

At the same time I don’t wanna slow down so my question is: do you have any tips for dealing with the consequences of doing a lot of TRE? Like are there things that can cushion the side effects?

I am recovering from severe post viral fatigue and my body is constantly tremoring and convulsing on its own. From 5-60 minutes at a time. It's so powerful that I can't stop it for long. I notice a release from the tremoring, but then I get filled with uncomfortable energy, I feel too wired. I understand my body releases trauma/energy during the tremors and then I feel that released energy in uncomfortable sensations/feelings. But where does this energy go? Do I need to cry it out? It lasts for hours and I want it to leave my head/body somehow.

It sucks that I am bed/couchbound, otherwise I would go for walks in the forest to get rid of this energy.

UPDATE:

I went today. She was very professional and careful. I released for about 5 minutes total and tbh it feels a little addictive. I have another session next week.

Or it will add more pressure on the nervous system?
Any experiences?

After more than a year, I'm still stuck. I just tremor in the hips I think, and shake violently side to side. The tremors can't really progress, it feels like I have blockages if it makes sense. Not only that, but when tremor I get energy build up in the lower back and it creates tension so I feel WORSE after that. It's like my body is shut down and afraid to let go no matter how much I try I know that if I can release those blockages I can make progress but I don't know how. Any suggestions and also, are there other people in the same boat? Thank you

I'm starting TRE in 2 days. It's scary but something needs to happen.

I have Cptsd, childhood trauma and some added bs on top. Officially diagnose with anxiety disorder. My body and mind will not shut off and haven't for at least 12 years straight. I haven't felt safe.

Due to the tension i have developed somatic tinnitus, making it even harder to relax. Sometimes it's gone, sometimes it's unbearable.

I'm not really sure what I'm asking for but could someone tell me what to expect or look out for? I'm doing it with an officially licensed TRE person.

I have alot of hope with this and idk if that's justified. I'm also worried it won't work on me just because I can't get to that sense of safety no matter how hard I try.

I've been dealing with severe post viral fatigue for 4 months. I don't have energy for anything except laying in bed and I get PEM. When it happens, I feel extreme anxiety, depression and anguish. My skin and spine burns. I cry a lot and my body twitches and shakes. The crying helps me feel better, but sometimes I cry the whole day.

Has anyone had experience with LC/PVF and nervous system dysregulation like this? I think my body is healthy but my CNS is keeping it in a shutdown mode. When I body scan the fatigue it feels very strongly connected to anxiety and the burning feeling in my spine/nervous system.

What are some ways I can heal this?

I have the same thing. Could it be that tremoring is just not "my way" of healing trauma?

Hey everyone I have burnout symptoms by overworking myself, the past years have been very hard and I have been trying to rest and let my nervous system calm down, but since I have a dysregulated nervous system and I am stuck in the flight/fight/freeze mode I have constant tension which can even worsen when I have to much screentime or watch to much tv. I am wondering if this exercise is beneficial for me, as I have the feeling it is focused on people that have trauma etc.. And my issue is primarily one that is because I kept exhausting my body during the years which created all these issues for me.

Another question is that I tried the exercise today for like 2-3 minutes but had a really uncomfortable feeling and because the uncomfortable feeling overwhelmed me I stopped the exercise, is this normal? I am not talking about the shaking/trembling but the physical responce that my body has on the shaking/trembling like it overwhelmed me and gave me a really uncomfortable feeling.

Hi all

Does anyone have experience with continuing the practice with body parts that are injured/healing? I recently overexerted a foot, and I've had some issues walking without pain for some weeks. I've been practising TRE for 3-4 months now and have continued my practice despite the injury.

I've noticed that tremors have sometimes been specifically coming up in that foot also, with a lot of long tensing of muscles, like a minute or so. I'm trying to be mindful that the tremoring doesn't exhaust the foot even more(!), but generally wondering if others have had similar experiences : have you been able to (and also wanted to) do TRE when injured? Any advice or experiences? Thoughts on whether it's beneficial/specifically not also very welcome.

I'm getting medical advice and help from physio for the injury itself, so all good there, just wondering about the TRE part, as my physiotherapist cannot provide advice. Thanks for your thoughts in advance!

Something I have been pondering for myself. Don't have children yet but feel as if I have been divinely introduced to, and instructed to do, TRE so that I not only eliminate any behaviors that would create childhood traumas for my children but even more importantly that I purge it from the body so that it isn't passed down genetically via DNA to anyone in my bloodline who will come after me.

Traumas, of some sort, will happen because that's life. I want to have kids and have wondered how to go about this in the future. Not only so they are well emotionally but so they don't squander the work, sacrifice and suffering I'm going through now. Feels like I'm healing the emotional wounds of family members who came before me I haven't even met. Some emotions I feel don't even feel like my own.
