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 was at my fighting club last night & I punched & kicked the absolute fuck out of the pads being held up
It was incredible
& especially because I'm learning how to channel energy through my whole body into the blows
& how to chain them rhythmically together
So freeing

yo that sounds sick as hell
It is sooooo fun
& sooooo good for my mental health
Even when it hurts it's fine, I'm in tune with my body
