there are parts of my process or my practice or w/e you wanna call it that are actually pretty important but idk how to talk about them. one is a move that is like “allowing the body to do what it wants” and that’s where all the shaking and hyperventilating come from
Conversation
i learned how to do this fairly suddenly, iirc around 2018 and inspired by impro but i might be misremembering, and actually trotted it out as a party trick a few times b/c the results were so funny to me. shaking, almost-crying, insane laughing. i have no idea how to teach it

do you know RC / co-counseling? it calls what you're describing (laughing/shaking/crying) "discharge" & it's viewed as a central part of processing emotions
rc.org/publication/bo (website is awful but the practice is super interesting)

whoa thanks this is an interesting chart. the different things that come out as laughter is something for me to chew on, i get laughter a lot and often don't understand it
like many emotional things, it's better understood by trying it than reading about it, so feel free to dm if you wanna be connected to someone to try it (no pressure, took me years after reading about it to decide to try it)
