pretty much necessary for me at this point

full body?

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)

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

i've started calling it "car talk" and it is like practically my foundational practice at this point. don't know what i'd do without it. i mean i really don't know 😅

lmao i’ve just started doing this in the last few weeks and it’s been an absolute godsend i guess ideally i could do it at home without freaking out neighbors but oh well

I spent my 20s doing this & permanently damaged my vocal cords & also didn’t learn to work with the charge until I stopped screaming & contained the energy & the sensations & expanded my bandwidth/window of tolerance. Making noise is cool but so is being present with what’s there
