View submission: "Trauma" vs. learned postures from physical activities
I understand what you're saying--I believe I've seen you post similar sentiments on other posts. I really just wanted to sort of throw this out as a sort of "this is what I've been musing about" post to the community, since I do think a fair amount of people could get caught up in a thought sequence of 1. "TRE is doing wonders for me"; 2. "WHY is TRE doing wonders for me?" Under circumstances like that, it could be pretty easy to fall down a rabbit hole of wondering if some sort of trauma (in the way that most people envision the word "trauma") happened to oneself. Look at u/AmbassadorSerious 's comment up top, which in a way casts doubts on my interpretation of my own childhood, which truly was pretty great. What I'm trying to say is that TRE is awesome and all, but it also has the potential to be ripe territory for planting false memories or making mountains out of molehills, etc. The human mind can be pretty suggestable. In an Internet culture that's currently very "trauma trauma trauma"... maybe we don't have to search too hard for bad things that happened to us, and just understand that TRE can work really well for a lot of people, perhaps due to unexpected events/habits that were really quite innocuous and not what we would think of as the stereotypical trauma.

Look, if it brings you comfort to think that ballet gave you long term sexual dysfunction, so be it. But that won't be the preferred interpretation for everyone. Certainly not for anyone wanting to do ballet!
I don't think most people have an issue with the name, I certainly don't. As I implied in my reply, it doesn't matter where the tension/trauma came from.
