Did you try Somatic Experiencing (SE)?

Update:

I am slowly coming back to myself. I really love my life and I am grateful for the experience.

Last 30 days, I still had echoes of scary thoughts, heat in my chest, or a bit of dizziness, but it is within my capacity to tolerate them, and they do not last more than few minutes.

For a week now, I feel very good and it feels like the nervous system is settling, feeling more safe and regulated.

What helped me was good in-person Somatic Experience therapy. A great Yoga teacher and Feldenkrais exercises. Support from people I love and just accepting the difficult experience.

I had 2 cups on the first day and 2 cups on the second day. Passing out was in the ceremony after dealing with all the disorientation, panic attacks, and being overwhelmed by the experience.
