TRE sessions and strange external events — has anyone experienced this?

Beginner Question

I’m wondering if anyone here has experienced something similar.
I have some specific unresolved trauma around injustice, financial loss, and situations where I feel that something is being taken away from me unfairly.
I’ve done only three TRE sessions so far, and something very strange has happened after every single one.
During the sessions themselves, I feel really good. I experience a strong sense of relaxation and relief. But the following day, something unexpected happens in my life that seems to be directly connected to the same unresolved trauma.
These are not things that normally happen to me, and some of these events are quite unusual. What really gets my attention is the timing: three sessions, and three times something unexpected and financially damaging happened the very next day.
The strange part is that I’m not consciously thinking about these things before or during the sessions. I’m not trying to manifest anything or expecting something bad to happen. The external event happens first, and only afterwards do I realise how strongly it seems to match the same underlying theme.
It’s now making me genuinely afraid to continue TRE. During the sessions I feel great, but afterwards I’m starting to associate TRE with something going wrong in my life the next day.
Has anyone experienced actual external events after TRE that seemed to mirror a particular trauma, fear, or life pattern — rather than just emotions, memories, dreams, or bodily sensations coming up?
And if you have experienced this repeatedly, how did you understand it? Did you continue with TRE, take a break, or change the way you approached the practice?
I’m genuinely trying to understand whether this could be some kind of meaningful pattern, or whether I’m simply connecting unrelated events because the timing is so striking.
