This makes a lot of sense in relation to the theories behind somatic trauma therapy which is something I work on in part of a group coaching program and find very effective. We're using it to deal with big T traumas, but what you say about the little T ones ties in with something I've thought a lot about since I've done more work in acknowledging my big ones. I've often discussed with friends with similar stories that although it's hard and horrible and we shouldn't have had to go through what we did, we have a chance to address our traumas in a way that many people with little T traumas (which are still having a potentially negative effect on their current experiences) don't alwyas get to.We at least know the reasons why we are like we are (if that makes sense) and get the chance to do something about it, if we are lucky. I think most people are carrying some form of trauma, big or small and it's the lack of acknowledgment of that fact that is responsible for a lot of the troubles we see in our world.
Yes you are right, Alice, you’ll "need a few more sessions before I [you] say for certain if it’s had the desired effect on my [your] stress levels".
You are at the very beginning of your TRE journey and that's why I teach TRE over four sessions.
This first session was your introduction to TRE - in sessions two and three you know what to expect, how your body responds, how you can self-regulate and find tremoring confidence.
TRE isn't a one-off (you wouldn't go to the gym just once), but ideally a regular practice - to retrospectively and also preventatively tackle tension and stress and increase your resilience.
Keep shaking, it was a pleasure to introduce you to TRE.
Really interesting read Alice. I wonder if its related to why dancing can make you feel so good! Shaking out all that tension and stress.

Natural. Innate. TREmendous.
