Not medical advice
Everything here is educational — one person sharing what he's learned and found helpful. It isn't medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, and it's not a substitute for a qualified professional who knows your situation.
Nervous-system and trauma work can stir things up. If a practice ever makes you feel worse, it's completely okay to stop — opening your eyes, looking around the room, standing up, or reaching out to someone are all valid responses. Nothing here is required, and slower is always allowed.
If you're dealing with significant distress, please consider working with a licensed, trauma-informed professional. This site is not designed for people in crisis.
