I used to think it was shivering from being tense and cold in the face of heightened emotions. Learning that the shaking was helping my body release energy helped me accept it more. There were a couple of times when there was an incident during the week and when I made it to the safety of my counsellor I could feel my body being free to let go, shake and let the trauma of the event out. If I hadn’t had that safe place to go to, I am sure it would have become a stuck traumatic memory.
Yes, so much "stuckness" begins right there! Remarkable how quickly I can move through something if I allow myself to shake. It often doesn't take much.
