Hey Alex.

 

I’m relatively new here but I want to share something that I was starting to get into before my battle with withdrawals. There’s a technique called TRE which stands for Trauma Release Exercise or Tension Release Exercise. I would only advise doing it with a trauma informed practitioner for your first handful of sessions. It is very simple and is something you can do on your own once you feel comfortable and safe doing it without a professional. It is always advised to do it in the company of another person and it’s important that you trust this person. Basically all it entails is some stretching and light posture and movements to fatigue very specific muscles in the lower body. Then you lay on your back and get into a position that allows your Psoas muscles to start shaking which shakes your legs. These muscles are known to hold stored trauma and extra energy. The great thing about this is you can release stored physical, emotional, and psychological trauma without doing any therapy or reliving it. Humans used to do lay down and shake or tremor after experiencing a traumatic event like a wild animal attack or an earthquake etc. Then the event would clear and not store in the body. Animals do this all the time. If practiced daily or weekly it is supposed to clear all sorts of trauma and trapped energy. Again, I do not recommend doing this without a true professional. There are many that claim to be trauma informed but that is not always true. If you would like more info or help finding a safe practitioner please don’t hesitate to contact me. My practitioner has used it on thousands of veterans down in Fort Carson in CO Springs and she said it worked wonders for them to sleep and get relief from PTSD. I hope you are doing better since your last post. You’ve got a lot of people that care about you here from reading your previous posts and now you have one more person that’s here for you.
