TRE®
Trauma & Tension Release Exercises — your body's innate ability to heal.
TRE® is an effective, somatic (body-based) method that helps you release deep-seated patterns of tension associated with stress and trauma — by activating neurogenic tremors: your body's natural ability to gently shake or vibrate.
How it works
Beyond the mind, into the body.
Because TRE® works on a layer beyond the mind, there's no need to verbally process past experiences. Many people find this particularly beneficial, as discussing past traumas can be difficult or even re-traumatising.
The core aim is to empower you with the knowledge and skill to use this self-regulation method whenever you need it. TRE® can be used together with counselling, or on its own.
I am formally trained in Hatha Yoga and Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®). This somatic foundation allows us to gently nurture alignment between thinking and feeling, doing and being — through practical interventions.
Working online
Virtual somatic is highly effective.
During our online sessions, I guide you step-by-step through movement and tremor-release exercises while observing your body's responses on screen. You remain in total control of the pace at all times.
- No need to verbally process past experiences — the work happens below the story.
- You remain in total control of the pace at all times.
- Doing this work in your own familiar space often allows your nervous system to feel safer, opening the door for deeper self-regulation.
- Yoga and TRE can be adapted to accommodate many different body types and abilities.
Practical considerations
What to have on hand.
A reliable internet connection, a laptop or tablet with a working camera, a private room where you won't be interrupted, and enough floor space to lay down comfortably for somatic integration.
