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

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)

holy crap interesting
i remember i used to really want something like this, to show me what moves were clearing what emotions
these days it doesn’t matter as much to me since i’ve gotten used to just letting it all happen however it shows up
but most of these seem accurate😮

yeah this really summarizes stuff i've done haphazardly in bits and pieces in the background and never quite foregrounded because i didn't know how to talk about it or see other people talking about it. big relief honestly
