What exactly is
TRE?
TRE, or Tension and Trauma Release Exercises are a series of exercises that allow your body to recover a natural shaking or tremor mechanism within the body’s muscles.
​
Founded and created by Dr David Berceli, a psychologist who helped and studied communities in Africa and the Middle East who had been traumatised by years of war and conflict. Dr Berceli found that instigating the body’s natural tremor response meant people were less likely to need psychotherapeutic or pharmacological interventions after experiencing severe trauma.
Simple & powerful
Did you know that stress, tension and even past traumatic events are held in the nervous system? This is why traditional talk therapy falls short of relieving us of the symptoms of stress, anxiety and depression. By engaging neurogenic tremors letting go becomes effortless.
Simple to learn and easy to use TRE empowers you to let go of the past and experience true happiness and well being in the moment.

we shake with grief.
What a time they have these two
housed as they are in the same body.

TRE for 2 six-week program
anyone who experiences trauma has their own unique psychological responses to that trauma, so unique in fact that two people who have experienced the same traumatic event can have entirely different responses to it. However, how trauma impacts the body is almost universal, of course there are going to be minor differences between people, but generally people seem to internalise traumatic experiences in their body in the same way.
Unprocessed trauma in the body can look like a range of physiological ailments, symptoms or responses, some are:
-
an overactive startle response
-
muscle tension
-
neck pain
-
jaw pain
-
headaches or migraines
-
Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)
-
lethargy
-
faster heartrate
