New stress responses
Hello everyone.
I've been practicing for roughly 4 months now. I already posted multiple times on here regarding pacing. Today I have a different question.
Lately I've spent some time learning about allowing and letting sensations etc. move though instead of resisting. Today I had a social situation I was afraid of. But this time something was different. I noticed the anxiety and fear and tried to let it be there instead of resisting it. What happened next was I somehow felt some slight urges to cry, like a child does when it is very afraid of something. I didn't manage to let tears flow but I at least noticed it. And more importantly I noticed my legs and arms becoming shaky and I actually had some small leg tremors like when doing TRE but much softer. I tried to let go as much as possible but at the same time I didn't want to completely lose control since I was still in public and there were multiple people sitting nearby.
So now to finally come to my question: Can I consider these different symptoms that I never experienced like this before as actual healing progress? Or am I just making something up in my mind?
I'm not sure if what I experienced today is good or bad.
