Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)
TRE is a somatic (body) stress regulation technique that activates the body’s recovery process. Simple stretches invite the body to open & process deeply held muscular patterns of tension, stress, trauma, & restore wellbeing.
Whether you have symptoms of chronic stress, anxiety, physical tension, trauma, PTSD, or are simply a person who wants to become more resilient and just feel better, you can benefit from TRE.

What’s TRE?
Dr. David Berceli, an international social worker, developed TRE®.
He noticed that the human body contracts when faced with threat and that shaking is a primitive response to recover stress and trauma, shared by both humans and animals.
"Shaking" is a natural response to stress & trauma, and part of human behavior.
Shaking causes deep relaxation which reduces stress levels and increases resiliency of the body.
Stressful events and experiences can over-charge the body. TRE is the process that activates the body to unwind tension and begin recovery, by literally "shaking it off".
Through a series of simple physical stretches, the body welcomes a natural ‘neurogenic’ shaking, which releases body tension and supports the nervous system to normalize towards well-being.
For more information on TRE, go to Trauma Prevention.
TRE is not recommended for women who are pregnant.
