Shivers?

[Definitely..maybe]

I haven't seen this on a thread anywhere and was just wondering if anyone had any experience or advice, please!

It seems to happen just at random, but definitely sometimes when I'm triggered, I'll have a shiver run up my body, I can't stop it and am out of it for a few seconds. It's not the shaking I have with my panic attacks but still annoying- especially when mid conversation with someone!

I get something similar, I'll have a shiver and then palpitations and I feel locked inside for a few seconds and I can't focus on anything. I don't know what it is either?

Check the threads on disassociation; you may find something similar there.

When I discharge trauma energy or talk about an emotional subject, I will shiver. It is not uncommon and though it's a minor discomfort I am so happy when it happens. That means less energy trapped within!

I call it a pee shiver. Not sure why but I've always called it that.

Thank you guys for all your answers, I agree it seems like getting rid of the bad, literally shaking it off!

The pee shiver..lol!

I shiver too when I'm starting to get triggered! Hadn't really thought too much about it...it just happens quickly and it is over. I consider it a warning sign of a flashback coming.

Yup, I can relate to the shivers--along with goosebumps. And I feel cold, too. I think this could be related to feeling cold during some traumatic incidents, though seeing that a lot of people shiver (presumably without cold-related triggers), I am wondering whether maybe it's just a general thing.
