Tention & Trauma Releasing Exercises

TRe, short for “Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises,” is a body-based therapeutic modality developed by Dr. David Berceli. TRe is designed to help individuals release tension, stress, and trauma stored in the body through a series of simple exercises.

The foundation of TRe lies in the understanding that the body stores unresolved tension and trauma from past experiences. These stored sensations can manifest as physical discomfort, emotional distress, or psychological symptoms. By engaging in specific exercises, TRe aims to activate the body’s innate tremor mechanism, allowing for the release of these stored tensions.

The TRe exercises typically involve a sequence of movements that gently fatigue the muscles, leading to involuntary tremors or shaking. These tremors are a natural response of the nervous system and are believed to help discharge stress and tension held in the body. Participants are encouraged to allow the tremors to occur freely, without judgment or inhibition, while maintaining a sense of safety and grounding.

TRe sessions are facilitated by trained practitioners who provide guidance and support throughout the process. Participants may experience a range of sensations during and after the exercises, including relaxation, increased energy, emotional release, and a sense of calmness.

Overall, TRe offers a non-invasive and empowering approach to stress and trauma relief, allowing individuals to reconnect with their bodies and facilitate healing on physical, emotional, and psychological levels. It is a helpful tool to help regulate the nervous system.
