A popular topic of debate in the body-based therapy scene is the question of whether spontaneous bodily shaking is symptomatic of a release taking place, and whether you thus “need” to shake in order for it to work.
"One school of therapy, known as Trauma Release Exercises (TRE), seems to even insist that shaking needs to happen, otherwise nothing is happening."
Maria Alfaro used to say she never shook! So I am not sure this is an accurate summation of TRE, as she would say something similar to your idea.
Thanks for clarifying
Related, I recently came across the concept of psychogenic nonepileptic seizures
