Best Way To Help With Shaking From Memories?

[avgirl]

Hi, I need help, I'm desperate because I'm alone (everyone's asleep) but shaking rapidly from memories. This doesn't happen often but I'm so upset. Is there a way to calm this down or stop it from feeling so severe? I'm just terrified and all the muscles in my body are tightening so fast I already have this immense tension but the worst part is the shakiness and tears.

Have you tried Emotional Freedom Technique? (aka EFT)

I used it quite a bit during really bad episodes a few years ago. It always seemed a bit hokey but still worked well. Here is an intro video. It's simple and easy to learn and can be a good stopgap measure:

Looks like I cannot post it but you can google it yourself, EFT + How To.

Good luck.

Thank you! I have tried it and for some reason totally forgot...I haven't used it in over a year, but my therapist during the initial intense trauma work showed me. Thank you.
