About TRE
Free yourself from stress reactions and find inner peace and power with TRE® – Tension and Trauma Release Exercises. TRE assists the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate 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.
A Revolutionary Approach to Trauma Management
Tension and Trauma Release Exercises, commonly known as TRE®, is a revolutionary approach to stress and trauma management that focuses on the body’s natural ability to release tension and heal. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, a bioenergetic therapist, TRE® is grounded in the understanding that traumatic experiences and chronic stress can become stored in the body, leading to physical and emotional imbalances.
The foundation of TRE® lies in a series of simple exercises designed to induce a controlled shaking or tremor response in the muscles. This shaking is an innate, neurogenic response that animals in the wild often use to discharge stress and tension after a threatening situation. By intentionally engaging in these tremors, individuals can activate the body’s natural mechanisms for releasing stored stress and trauma.
The TRE® process is typically guided by a certified TRE® provider, especially in the initial stages. Participants learn a series of exercises that involve gentle stretches and muscle activation, gradually allowing the body to enter a tremor state. This shaking or tremoring is a self-regulating mechanism that helps the body release tension and stress at a physiological level. Over time, individuals may develop the ability to engage in TRE® as a self-help tool, providing a practical and empowering way to manage stress and trauma on their own.
Many people find TRE® to be a valuable complement to traditional therapeutic approaches, as it addresses the physical aspect of stress and trauma, promoting a holistic healing process. By engaging the body’s natural release mechanisms, TRE® offers a unique and accessible approach to well-being, fostering a sense of relaxation, resilience, and balance.
