Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is a simple yet innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.
I am currently training as a TRE provider. Amongst other requirements I have completed the in person modules the one to ones and case studies with supervision. I am now doing the group sessions which are videoed to be watched by my trainers and then I have supervision on these sessions.
These sessions typically last 1-1.15 hours and involve grounding/self regulation/the 7 exercises/ time for tremors and then space for integration.If you would like to come to one of my group sessions please get in touch. There is currently no charge for these sessions. they are free!
