Does anyone else feel "cold" when they are reading posts on this forum?

I know that may be a really weird question, but when I spend time here reading post and experiences, I get cold. Like, put on a jacket cold.

It gradually fades after I get off the site.

Just curious.

Right now I get hot because of the Summer (?).

In winter I will agree with you.

Maybe something with PTSD, anxiety, or some type of switch....Remember healing takes work and courage even if just reading it can bring up some much that the body/mind is trying to remind us of

Everyone reacts in a personal way to associations and past expereinces stirred up. I guess we all need reasons for our feelings. We want to understand. I know it took me awhile -long after first expereincing a similar reaction of being very cold when being in the middle of a therapy session--beofre I even dealt with this expereince. Looking back after the fact, it was as if something registered in part of my awareness stirred by an association. After awhile, I came to accept this 'cold reaction' as being associated as deep seated fear or anxiety expereinced in my childhood/ childself. The thing is, whether it was or not, I dont really know. I had that reaction many times when I fell back into my childhood/child self or when people or memory came too close.
Sometimes I get too intellectual and analytical and probably make things more complicated than they have to be. Bottom line, if I were you, I wouldnt worry about it.
Take care, and thank you for sharing.

Thank you all. It's really an eerie feeling. It's almost 70 degrees here and I'm taking my hoodie off and on, as I read and post. I guess it's just a part of it.

I do believe there are good things to come.

Just have to walk through what you don't understand to get to where you do.

I am always cold. When I get a migraine or am upset, I'm so cold my teeth chatter sometimes

I'm usually pretty even temp. I've not experienced a migraine, and my heart is sad that you have to struggle with that! I hope you find relief from it.

I love the quote at the end of your post!

Be like water making its way through cracks, do not be
assertive, but adjust to the object, if nothing within you stays
rigid, outward things will disclose themselves. --Bruce Lee

I would like to be more like that!! I truly try to push things too much and I'm sure that holds up disclosure of things that would help me. It encouraged me greatly!!!

I've experienced being hot once in session. We were talking about something and I could feel myself getting "worked up" and realized I was burning up!! Then, a couple of minutes later I was freezing!!

Ive never really ever had an issue with hot / cold - but apparently Im quite removed from my feelings, including things like hot / cold / pain etc. Since starting T, I don't feel cold, but I will sometimes start shivering and shaking like Im freezing - especially if we touch on subjects that are emotive. My T is always asking me if Im cold, and usually Im not - but the question draws my attention to the fact Im shivering.

That was the case until recently. The last couple of months Ive been getting loads of hot flushes and freezing cold patches. Even to my feet going numb with cold, or sweating profusely in reaction to changing air temps. My T would probably call that a breakthrough. I call it highly irritating!
