In a world where many of us are holding patterns of stress and unprocessed trauma, it can be hard to find a place where we can truly relax and feel safe and settled within our own bodies. The environment we live in is constantly bombarding our senses which, with no respite or reset, can push our nervous systems into overwhelm. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just lie back, not think, and let our body find its own reset? Well TRE® does exactly that.

TRE® stands for tension and trauma releasing exercises. It’s a body-based therapy, using our body’s natural way of releasing stored tension which helps us to move into a more resourced state over time.

When we are stressed, we unconsciously hold tension in our bodies, not only is this exhausting but it also sends signals to our brain that we are bracing for danger and so the stress response stays on. Unfortunately, this means that being in the stressed state can become our norm and we forget what it feels like to not be stressed. PTSD and unprocessed trauma are when we are unable to move out of the stress state, living in freeze moving to flight/flight and back to freeze continually. Healing is breaking this pattern this pattern and TRE® helps us to do that.

We’ll be using a series of exercises to engage certain muscles to gently bring on a natural tremor in our body. You are always in complete control and will be taught how to pause and restart the tremors.
