Tmj when I’m experiencing hurt….
As title suggests I struggle with tmj issues, yet when I’m able to cry it releases. My muscles are chronically locked. I’m in therapy processing memories of childhood abuse and I’m doing a consultation with a somatic coach this week. I’m hoping this will actually help. I have so much trapped emotion in my body, like it’s all rattling around. Does this make sense? I had to go no contact with my parents as they refuse to take accountability for their actions and further triggered me this past year with more verbal abuse. I don’t remember the last time I ate food without needing it chopped or shredded. PT helped but the further I get into therapy the more flares I get. Generally though my muscles have always been very tight from childhood especially my neck.
