Finding Relief from Trauma with TRE
Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) is a revolutionary technique that helps individuals release deep-seated tension and trauma from their bodies. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE is a simple yet powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and trauma.
What is TRE?
TRE is based on the idea that our bodies store tension and trauma in our muscles, particularly in the psoas muscle, which runs from the base of the spine to the thighbone. When we experience trauma or stress, our body’s natural response is to tense up and prepare for fight or flight. However, if we don’t release this tension, it can become stuck in our bodies, leading to a range of physical and emotional problems.
How does TRE work?
TRE involves a series of exercises that target the psoas muscle and other areas of tension in the body. These exercises, which include gentle tremoring, shaking, and vibrating, help to release tension and trauma from the muscles, allowing the body to return to a state of relaxation and balance.
Benefits of TRE
The benefits of TRE are numerous, including:
– Reduced stress and anxiety
– Improved sleep
– Increased flexibility and range of motion
– Enhanced emotional well-being
– Reduced symptoms of PTSD and trauma
– Improved overall physical and mental health
How to practice TRE
TRE can be practiced anywhere, at any time, and is suitable for individuals of all ages and abilities. Here’s how to get started:
1. Find a quiet and comfortable space to lie down or sit
2. Start by tensing and relaxing different muscle groups in your body
3. Focus on your psoas muscle and gently tremor or shake it
4. Allow your body to release tension and trauma as you tremor and shake
5. Continue for 10-20 minutes, or as long as feels comfortable for you

TRE is a powerful tool for managing stress, anxiety, and trauma. By releasing tension and trauma from our bodies, we can experience improved physical and emotional well-being, and enhanced overall health. Try incorporating TRE into your self-care routine today and discover the benefits for yourself!
