Right before my TRE practice I like to do Journaling (specifically JournalSpeak by Nichol Sachs).
So… I try to bring out all my stored emotions during that, which DOES improve my shakes to a higher level during the TRE, but then… during the journaling, I find myself shaking my legs in the exact same motion (except now im sitting) and I also feel myself clenching my jaw in a TMJ way.

What does this mean? Am I shedding emotions/stress by doing the shaking while bringing it up or am I just exacerbating it???

If I shake is it always a good thing?

Also I sometimes shake when I do exercises like hollow hold or dead bugs? Does that have any particular meaning? I know that my stomach area all is one of my biggest areas of stored stress.. so maybe that’s why doing an exercises is shaking off… but idk what it’s shaking off. Maybe it’s shaking off the stress that created my bad posture/stomach tightness? Or is it just regular muscle failed?

I’m new to Reddit, but I’ve just had a crazy experience with TRE.
Today is my third time doing TRE, I combined it with Journal Speak (Journaling method by Nichole Sachs for chronic Pain). The reason I came to TRE is because of my pelvic pain and complete dysfunction (male 21). Here’s what happened

I journaled for 25 minutes. I had some really big realizations about sex and my relationship and my frustrations. I was wishing I could have sex pain free and with ease. I was wish my girl would tell me should loved me again and she was sorry for not believing I can heal. And then… I wished I was strong. Completely off topic right?

Then my memories came back of my dad. I totally forgot I had trauma tbh since I did a lot of psychotherapy during covid when I was depressed.

So I started wishing I was strong. And I saw myself weak, curled up, crying, while my friends ran away laughing and my dad stood over me after hitting me. I felt so weak and done wrong in that moment. Someone else did some fucked up shit (forgot context) but my dad hit me and i felt life was so unfair.

Another similar memory came up. Crying again about how unfair life was and being hit for no good reason and wishing I could do something about my situation.

So I tried to comfort my past self. 21 yr old me went to put a shoulder on 10 yr old me and comforted him.

Then I started TRE.
New memories came up. 16 yr old, super dep pressed/auicidal/angry Me who had my hand around my dads neck. I used to wish so many bad things to my dad when I was younger but I had totally forgotten. And so I could now feel tremors in my right hand in that memory. All od a sudden, my arm/hand shoots up in Real life and started tremoring (I was doing a laying down routine where the fuck did the hand come from😂). And I consoled that Michael in that memory too. Arm goes down and I keep focusing on legs.

Craziest shit ever. As im going through my three memories of younger Me, current Me is putting a hand on them and consoling them. THEN FUTURE ME COMES AND CONSOLES ME. WTF😭😭😭.

A future me who has a happy wife, who can have sex easily and without pain. Bro consoles me, telling me I can heal; yo that guy was a fucking badass. So stoic and strong and CALM. I could tell that guy has a clam/loving relationship with a girl.

So im continuing my TRE, and I do a bunch of crazy shakes, different versions, some with tilting, some small shakes, big shakes. Not as crazy as other people in the sub but this was a HUGE step forward to me.
I ended up doing TRE for 40 minutes… don’t know if that’s bad, it felt about right for me. The closest thing I can relate it to is the ecstasy of my religious awakening that healed me from a big breakup around 18.

The two minutes after I finished and layed there were awesome too. I felt the tremors shoot through my body like electricity.
Now im laying down and im not in that state of healing, bliss, and calmness. But im so glad i had that experience.

Lowkey, i dont know what it will take for me to heal my issues. They’re physical dysfunction of pelvic muscles and nerves. But Physical Therapy made no lasting results. Now im focusing on the nervous system.

I still can’t fully believe that I can heal.
But in that time, I 100% felt like I could.
It was a big come down after I finished the session. Gonna keep going.

Would love to connect with you guys in the community. Any guy/girl have pelvis pain, Hard Flaccid, and/or nervous system issues and get healing from TRE?

Also has anyone combined TRE with journaling, JournalSpeak, or meditation? Seems pretty good to me😂

Hey im a 21M that has been dealing with chronic pelvic pain for about 11-12 years and hard flaccid for about 5 ish years (sometime during Covid). My worst symptom is that when standing, I cannot maintain an erection and if I try doing aroused masturbation, it’s very painful and my dick goes down despite being stimulated. I can get erections (maybe 85-95% hard) while sitting down and sometimes laying down. I test standing erections by getting hard while sitting and then standing up, it never works even when alone. I think this came about by some masturbating during Covid where I squeezed the fuck out of my pelvic floor during masturbation and then couldn’t ejaculate, so I kept trying for 30-40 minutes and my standing erections have never been the same since. I could imagine if I somehow heal enough to manage an erection, It would be very painful for me to have sex.

Been in a relationship for about 6 months but have tried sex many times in many positions also with cialis and Viagra, nothing worked. I should tried sex while I was sitting but I don’t want to have sex like that for the rest of my life. Also have lost of Involuntary Kegels while sitting which makes it hard. Moving to girlfriends country in 2.5 ish months, she Lwk threatened to leave me if I didn’t fix these issues by then which has got me stressed as fuck. I did love her a lot, so I feel like my ultimatum is surgery to fix this or break up and spend maybe another 0.5-1.5 years fixing this so that I can date again. But honestly the mental health benefit of having this fixed is so fucking high, that I just wish I could get a surgery and go back to being happy. Never had sex before this girl, simply because of personal beliefs that changed recently.

Watched porn since 12 (now 21) with daily PMO. Covid make me triple+ usage. Stopped porn and mostly masturbation 3-4 months again. Got depressed after moving and got back on maybe 3x a week; the few times I did masturbate here hurt like a fucking bitch. Stopped porn and masturbation again and im about 2 weeks clean.

No mourning wood since covid (5 years)

Other than this, im super healthy 21 yr old, bloodwork all good, in good shape. Was very happy until I learned about my ED. History of depressed/suicidal out during covid.
Pelvic floor - peeing maybe 15 times a day and significantly harder/painful while standing. Ejaculation sends me into a flare up that lasts 2-3 hours of pain, loss of sensation, crazy urges to pee.

I’ve been doing pelvic PT for 3-4 months. Now have done 1 month of psychotherapy, breathwork, and traditional Chinese medicine/acupuncture.
Also tried Angion. This made my

I do have chronic pain in other areas but not nearly as bad. I was beating my meat 3-5x daily during covid and was suicidal back then, so I think that combination fucked me up.

Nervous system is probably fucked up, but I’ve been putting in a lot of work with no avail.

Cialis/viagra gave me slightly better erections, but also went down when I stood up (or got on my knees) to try and put it in.

Losing hope. Thinking of getting a penile implant.

It’s common in the porn scene, why couldn’t it work for me? Scared to lose size tho, im 6.5 in erect sitting/laying, 6 in standing for the first 10/20 seconds (goes down fast), and was 7 in before hf, also 7 hf laying down recently on a good day doing Angion method.

Did Angion method for 2/3 weeks and saw… good results but only when sitting/laying down, and I stopped because I couldn’t relax the pelvic floor to save my life.

TLDR: chronic pelvic pain and hard flaccid from squeezing pelvic floor and lots of masturbation in my super stressed years of covid; can’t get hard standing. Tried PT, normal therapy, Chinese medicine, strengthening, breathwork.
I never want to think about pelvic floor and erections again. I don’t care about pain or numbness, I just want to penetrate my girlfriend. Should I get a penile implant?

Im a young guy (21M) with really tight pelvic floor that I developed from years of masturbating as fast as possible (while clenching) and bad breathing/posture habits. This caused me to have bad erections and tight PF during sex; even though my mind is relaxed during sex, my PF has a hard time relaxing.

im trying to rewire my arousal with relaxed masturbation (using reverse kegels and deep breaths) and I am seeing a pelvic floor PT, and doing breathwork, but I was curious about how everyone here learned to relax their PF?

PF relaxation seems essential to lasting long and staying hard during the mind orgasms, yet mine is tight almost all day. How did you all learn to keep your pelvic floor relaxed?
