Iām reading Waking the Tiger by Peter Levine and heās talking about how we can heal trauma by entering the felt sense or whatever, Iāve literally tried his exercises from a TikTok that Iāve seen and I literally felt nothing when apparently I was supposed to cry and shit. I only shook a little but it barely did anything.
Iām pretty sure the rise in body-based therapy is a direct reaction to the well-raised problems with CBT. Except this nervous system regulation stuff seems to only work with regular isolated traumatic events. If you have complex trauma and canāt remember when you ever had a regulated nervous system, it likely wonāt do anything but these people will claim youāre somehow doing the method wrong or have a āvictim mentalityā if you donāt find success with their methods. Itās complete bullshit
It's bullshit. I joined a group and it was supposed to talk about trauma. Whenever I asked a real question about something, I'd have mod warn me about triggering others. An example was, "My narcissistic ex is bad mouthing me to our child and she's having a hard time. I'm at a loss of how to comfort her and feel like a failure."
I was constantly walking on eggshells. The group was about praising the author who wrote a journey about her experience with a narcissistic abuser. Asking a question or sharing an experience that doesn't match the author was a no-no. It was really about kissing the authors behind.
Maybe it isn't a true support group. It was full of shit and like being in a cult.
I left.
Honestly I'd proceed with caution and only talk to a licensed professional. Untrained people can cause more harm.
