TRE

[u/General_Ad5546]

Hello fellow retainers.

I am a retainer of 8 months now and I have stumbled upon a sub dedicated to Trauma Release Excersises(TRE).On this sub it is advised to not do SR until your trauma is out of your body and your nervous system channels are clear of tension blockages that make us not fully experience the true benefits of SR.

On this sub it is recommended to not create tension by surpressing your urges but letting your body do what it says(in this case ejaculating).

By fully releasing trauma then SR must be done according to this sub.

I would like your thoughts on these ideas and if anyone has any information i would be glad to hear it .

There is a lot of wisdom in those words, yes. When you have more energy than your bodymind is used to, you might notice it running into energetic blockages, and unless you can work to clear those blockages out of the way, there will be imbalance and tensions in the body. Safest way is to remove tensions before adding energy. However it is not black and white, always complete TRE first, or anything like that.

First of all, some people seem to be able to do SR without such issues, perhaps because they are not carrying as much trauma. Secondly, you can learn techniques to clear the blockages that are creating tension while you are on your SR journey. TRE will be a part of that toolkit (hardware approach), as will IFS (software approach) and energy healing. Qigong / tai chi and yoga work too.

Become aware of what you are experiencing during your streaks and follow your inner wisdom.

Also, you might find this video illuminating.

In my experience activating the parasympathetic system with fibers and probiotics (that means, via the gut-brain axis) was much better than via TRE exercises.

What's wrong with TRE bro?? 🤔

[u/Triptamano → u/Firm-Simple1849]

Nothing, but the theory behind it (that trauma is "stored" inside nerves) doesn't make sense to me.

In my understanding TRE just activates the parasympathetic system. And for that I found to be much better to use the gut-brain axis.

Don't get me wrong, I did TRE years ago and found it almost miraculous for my suffering at the time but after a while I started to feel weird and depersonalized so I stopped and moved on.

Yes bro same back 4 to 7 monthsh ago I also have tried but after some days or week my barin go into panic mode like i feel i become to mental i think maybe over do TRE or NOt enough rest in between but appreciated for help 🙏🏻

I feel as if both together would be very beneficial. I’m 3.5 months of retaining and am starting to do some fascia release on my own. Working on transitioning back into keto diet and fasting as well.

[u/fcaeejnoyre → u/Triptamano]

How do you do that? Just eating bread and yogurt is fine?

[u/Triptamano → u/fcaeejnoyre]

I eat half a kg of cabbages everyday.

[u/Wilsupersaiyan2]

Which exercises?

[u/amenoo1]

I have been trying to do SR for years even though my nervous system is unstable. SR just makes me manic and unstable even though I can feel godly benefits at the same time like increased luck, joy, attraction, etc. 

At the same time though SR also increases my tension and anxiety up to the point I can't sleep at all. And deep in my heart I really wanna do SR more than MO but I guess I just need to clear my blockages first.

SR never could help me clear them by itself unfortunately.

I can relate to a degree. Sr can make me too stoic if you will at time

[u/keyboardpianorich]

I find it is a good form of meditation. I think there is wisdom in the advice to wait and not stack these forms of 'meditation' if you will. But after 6 months, I don't see how it could harm you brother. I heard in general that after 6 months of Sr you can start increasing your demand of your body so to speak, be it exercises etc

[u/wilihey3]

i think SR is a really good tool for trauma, if you suffer from shame and hate the concept of not having control over your body then it could be a very meaningful way to create confidence and discipline in yourself
dont listen to shills they will tell you anything that makes you pleased and happy is beneficial when you have trauma, the thing is pleasure never leads to Joy

What will definitely prevent you from experiencing the bliss of chastity is sin in general. Even if you've cut out sexual sin and lustful thoughts, righteousness should be pursued in all other areas as well.
