Hmmm I would say the more I’ve done it the more it feels like I’m doing TRE but angrily haha.
At first I did the exercise and brought up the anger and I felt it very strongly in my hands. I tried the towel wringing and pillow punching.
Once I brought the anger out I would just pace around letting my body do whatever it wanted. I look like an insane person. I pace in my room, do “silent screams” or at least quiet them down, I growl, swipe and punch at the air, let my body move exactly how it wants to. Sometimes in the middle I lay down on the floor and move like a toddler having a tantrum and get back up and keep pacing. It does feel similar to TRE in that I just let my body move and shake and do repetitive movements however it wants and just follow the body. And it does feel like a renewal of my TRE tremors just driven by the anger now. Prior to this the tremors felt kind of forced and like I was going through the motions, now that it’s driven by the anger I am feeling more release on a daily basis.
Sometimes memories associated with the anger come up but it mostly just feels like a better release of emotion and energy that’s stuck in the body. So far I haven’t had that many emotions come up but I think I have spent more energy suppressing my anger my whole life not suppressing sadness so a lot of that came out earlier in my journey and now it’s just anger
There's nothing here!
