TRE® for Health and Emergency Services Professionals
TRE® is a self-care tool that can help personnel to manage their performance and wellbeing independently, without needing to talk about stressful events or recall past experiences.
TRE® is particularly useful when personnel are fatigued. It requires minimal mental or physical effort and can even be practiced lying in bed to help improve sleep quality and support falling asleep.
Sessions can be as short as 5–10 minutes and are easy to integrate into existing exercise and recovery routines. TRE® provides a practical way to help reduce hypervigilance and support a smooth transition from work to home life.
TRE® is a calming, body-based technique that can help personnel to release muscular tension, reduce stress and anxiety, and manage hypervigilance whenever and wherever they need.
By helping the nervous system self-regulate, TRE® can provide a body-based complement to mindfulness and talk therapies. It can help support stress management and overall resilience, while complementing other treatments and practices, including exercise.
TRE® can be used as an early intervention to ‘debrief the body’ after critical incidents, or regularly as an ongoing practice to help reduce anxiety and build resilience and coping capacity in the nervous system over time.
