TRE® - Trauma and Tension Release Exercises

 
 

Welcome to a transformative approach to healing and well-being through Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®).

I offer this powerful modality as a service to support you on your journey of healing and self-discovery.

Life's journey can present us with various challenges and experiences that leave a lasting impact on our minds and bodies. Trauma, whether it's big or small, can become stored within us, affecting our emotions, physical well-being, and overall quality of life. TRE is a gentle and effective approach to release tension, stress, and trauma from the body, promoting healing, resilience, and emotional well-being. 

The foundation of TRE is based on the understanding that the body naturally possesses a mechanism for releasing tension and trauma. This mechanism is believed to be an evolutionary response that helps animals in the wild discharge excess energy and reset their nervous systems after encountering threatening situations. However, in modern society, many people have lost touch with this instinctive ability to release tension, leading to chronic stress and unresolved trauma.


TRE works with the nervous system by providing a safe and controlled way to discharge tension and trauma-related energy that has been stored in the body. The tremors that arise during the practice are a natural physiological response and part of the body's innate healing process. By engaging the autonomic nervous system in this way, TRE can help individuals move toward a state of greater balance, relaxation, and resilience, supporting their journey of trauma healing and stress reduction.

The power of working with the nervous system to heal trauma is a profound and transformative approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of our physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Traumatic experiences can leave lasting imprints on the nervous system, affecting how we perceive and respond to the world around us. By engaging with the nervous system in the healing process, we can tap into its inherent capacity for resilience and restoration.

Here are some of the key benefits of incorporating TRE into your healing journey:

Stress and Tension Release: TRE provides a safe and natural way to release accumulated stress and tension from the body, promoting relaxation and a sense of calm.

Emotional Healing: By accessing and releasing stored trauma in the body, TRE supports emotional healing and facilitates the integration of past experiences, leading to a greater sense of peace and emotional well-being.

Increased Resilience: Regular practice of TRE helps to build resilience, enabling you to navigate life's challenges with greater ease and adaptability.

Improved Physical Well-being: As tension and trauma are released from the body, physical symptoms such as chronic pain, muscle tension, and digestive issues may alleviate, promoting overall physical well-being.

‘TRE or Tension and Trauma Release, can be seen as a compassionate, inner embrace. Its a practice that honours the silent stories our body hold, the narratives etched into our muscles and tendons by the passage of difficult times’

When we experience trauma its like the soul creates a defence to protect our most vulnerable selves. Our bodies cradle these defences in a protective clasp. With TRE we begin to dialogue with the body, not in words, but in movement - a language which the heart understands instinctively. Like a mother rocking her child, using motion to soothe and to whisper ‘You are safe now.’
