hmm it varies i guess. sometimes mostly head, sometimes mostly torso, sometimes it gets into the legs and arms. need to kind of "surf" whatever feels right at any given time. and i partly initiate it on purpose, it's usually not fully automatic

in the co-counseling list of discharges trembling and shaking is placed after crying which roughly agrees with my experience, although i also find i have to move back and forth along their list because a lot of different things can come up

also wow the co-counseling link above has some good stuff, here's a few choice quotes. interesting claim here that "discharges" happen in a specific order: grief (tears), then fears (trembling, shivering, laughter), anger (loud words, movement), boredom (talking, laughter)

every time i do stuff like this and exit a freeze state it catches me by surprise a little, like i am still just so used to being in continuous freeze that i forget, like "oh this is what not being frozen feels like"

i'm telling you it's all about having access to a car so you can drive somewhere isolated and scream in the car. 11/10 would recommend to pretty much everybody, i think basically everybody is constantly suppressing making loud noises
