What is TRE®?
TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. It provides an immediate experience of relaxation. TRE® frees us up to meet life’s challenges with greater skill and ease. Best of all, our bodies do the work; we often get relief without needing to process or retell our story.
Why do TRE®?
Whenever we feel helpless in a situation, we experience a form of trauma. The body stores overwhelming emotions, stress and tension on a cellular level in muscular patterns to deal with at a later stage. It can be stored for years and become habits for survival. The body’s natural ability to release stress is a shaking reflex, seen in the animal kingdom. It has been suppressed by our need for control and societal expectations. The part of our brain (the sympathetic nervous system) that is responsible to keep us safe through freeze, fight or flight actions, are overtaxed in our stressful society.
The parasympathetic nervous system is responsible for rest, relaxation and restoration. When the body is out of balance there can be an increase in sickness, anxiety, depression and burn out. A physiological balancing is necessary and through gentle physical techniques a healthy balance is restored and optimized conditions are created for healing to occur naturally.
An immediate effect of relaxation is reported after tremoring.
Background:
TRE® was developed by Dr David Bercelli after working in war-torn areas where he noticed the body’s natural ability to release tension through an instinctive tremor mechanism. He developed it as a self-help technique that deliberately activates our bodies’ release mechanism in a safe and controlled way. Session by session, these tremors help to release the build-up of muscular tension patterns accumulated in our body during stressful and traumatic life experiences. TRE® is practised in over 30 countries.
