TRE® stands for Tension Release Exercises and was developed by Dr David Bercelli as a way of releasing the muscular patterns of stress and tension that we hold in our bodies. Through his work Dr David Bercelli came to understand that the human organism, like all mammals, has an innate ability to shake/tremor after a stressful event is over in order to calm the nervous system, quieten the mind, and rest and recover physically.

TRE is a set of simple exercises which gently fatigue and stretch the body. The exercises help to activate our tremor reflex that allows the body to tremor/shake. Shaking is our natural way of restoring ourselves to a calm and relaxed state. We shake all the time, we can shake when we are excited, scared or angry and shaking is our body’s natural way of releasing extra charge and tension in the body. However, over time, we have learnt to suppress/switch off these shakes so as not to appear vulnerable. By switching off this body-based somatic process, we stop the body from doing what comes naturally to it, which is to shake/tremor in order to help our nervous system calm down, rest, and recover from a stressful event.

 

TRE works at a deep subconscious level and is completely body based, so no talking is required.

Tremoring releases the tension held in our muscles which then calms the nervous system bringing the body back into balance. It’s a natural way for the body to release tension and you are in complete control at all times, stopping and pausing the tremors throughout the session.

TRE can leave you feeling calmer, improve sleep and help you have an overall feeling of well-being and deep relaxation.

​

TRE, once embedded and embodied, can be practised on your own anywhere and anytime according to your needs. Once learnt you can release stress anywhere, anytime using TRE - shake out stress naturally with TRE.

​

Learning TRE you will:

• Learn how to activate the body’s natural tremoring mechanism

• Release stress and tension

• Reduce muscle tension, aches and pains

• Calm your nervous system

• Bring the body back to a state of balance and natural flow

• Be left feeling relaxed and peaceful

• Build resilience through regular practice

• Learn a stress relief practice you can use, on your own, for the rest of your life.

TRE at its core is a wonderful self-regulation tool that helps build a greater sense of inner resilience without having to involve the emotional or thinking brain, allowing the wisdom of the body to direct the experience and do the processing. Benefits of TRE are many and can range from helping sleep, daily stress, pain and tight muscles to building resilience and allowing the body and mind to return to a balanced, regualted place where creativity and eak performance can thrive.

 

“I had first come across TRE as a recommendation from a medical practitioner. Kate is a fantastic TRE facilitator: calm, clear with her instructions and knowledgeable on the topic. I quickly came to understand the value of TRE and use it nightly now to release tension of the day, resulting in much better sleep quality and calmness during the day dealing with stress, most importantly resulting in huge reduction in chronic body pain.” Katie

*When we experience stress over a long period of time we can become exhausted, burnt out and disconnected from our lives. Tremoring helps us move back into movement before returning us back into our natural state of flow.

​

TRE does not replace professional support for those who require it, but provides a simple self-care technique to optimise wellbeing & performance and help support & enhance the effects of other treatments & self-care practices. While TRE appears revolutionary in western cultures, this natural recovery reflex has been deliberately used by traditional cultures all around the world for hundreds if not thousands of years.
