TRE stands for Trauma or Tension Release Exercises

In TRE we follow a simple sequence of exercises that enable us to shake and through shaking we reconnect, re-establish balance, and restore our sense of agency. The tremors are natural, safe and help bring the body into equilibrium. We tune into the body’s natural resources for self-healing through an involuntary mechanism, shaking, that reboots the central nervous system after the activation caused by long term low level stress or significant traumatic events. We can learn to regulate ourselves discovering how to meet our responses to the demands of life in a self-managed way that encourages a sense of resilience and active participation in our well being.

We shake for grounding, connection and vitality.

TRE is a really practical, effective way of tuning in to your sense of capacity and can be transformative in terms of helping manage day to day stress as well as more acute symptoms of trauma. Some people may benefit from individual sessions to grow into a trust of their body and the process but the vast majority of people will be able to attend a group session and begin to integrate the practice into their lives with ease.
