Currently 12 months into TRE, and I wanted to share something that’s been happening consistently during my sessions lately. Almost every time I shake, my mind starts replaying old arguments or memories of things that have bothered me, stuff I thought was buried. At first, I found it a bit frustrating, like my mind was pulling me away from just being present in the tremors. But over time, I’ve realized that these mental replays actually feel good in a strange way. In these arguments, I’m finally standing up for myself something I couldn’t do back then, especially as a child. Instead of just reliving the helplessness I felt at the time, my mind is responding differently now. I’m pushing back, defending myself, saying what I wish I had said. It feels like a missing piece of me is waking up.
I’m guessing this is part of the nervous system’s way of integrating old experiences, maybe even completing a response that was suppressed at the time. It doesn’t feel like I’m getting stuck in the past, but more like I am moving through it, although it is sometimes very repetitive (the same replays over and over).

It’s awesome, i personally see this as a good sign! Have you had any instance recently where you had some sort of conflict or argument with someone and reacted in a much different way than usual ?
