Okā¦ Im bare footed in the grass in a park close to where I had my TRE sessionā¦ just relaxing and integrating the experience.
The reason for booking a session is because I have a chronic inflammation in my left sacroiliac joint, for about 2 years now. Ive tried a lot of different approaches with all kind of results. The things is Im far better that what I used to feel, no more pain crisis, but Im not good, Im not healthy. I still have some weaknesses and a soft but constant pain, that sometimes makes my lower back tense up and get painful.
A while ago I decided that Im not gonna stop until I feel good in my body, recover strenght and flexibility, to enjoy having the body I have.
Chiropractor is good, but its lacking something for me.
I wanted a guided TRE session because you have no feedback whatching youtube.
The most important lesson I got today is you get further by going slower. Sometimes the tremors arrives with unpleasant emotions and I thought you just gotta breakthrough it. The TRE lady told me to stop everytime it got unpleasant (emotionally or physically) to let my body know that it is safe, that stress and alertness are not necessary. That at some point I might need to go through something like that, but thats not the goal.
TRE is not about pushing through pain, discomfort and negative emotions, it is about showing your body that it is safe to relax and feel good.
She also told me that the pauses in between the tremors and at the end of the session are just as important, so you can be aware of how your body responds and reacts to the process.
At the end of the session (about 1 hour long) I felt deeply relaxed and expanded, still do. Most notably I feel like a solid block of stone was removed from my body, a stone big enough to cover all the space between my stomach and pelvis. That was followed by an energetic expansion towards the outside.
I can feel the world through my sacral and plexus centers.
She recommended 4 sessions total and then to keep the practice on my own for as long as I want to.
