TRE
TRE, or Trauma Release Exercises, is a series of physical exercises designed to help individuals release deep-seated tension and stress that can arise from trauma. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE involves a combination of gentle stretching and exercises that activate the body's natural tremor mechanism. This tremoring can help release pent-up stress stored in the muscles and nervous system.
The key principles of TRE include:
1. Tremoring: The core component, where the body shakes in a controlled manner, allowing for the release of trauma-related tension.
2. Self-regulation: Participants learn to listen to their bodies and manage their own tremoring process, fostering a sense of safety and control.
3. Physical and emotional benefits: Many users report reduced anxiety, improved mood, and a greater sense of well-being after regular practice.
It's a self-help tool that can be practiced individually or in a group setting, providing a body based approach to healing and well-being.
