Understanding TRE®: A Somatic Approach to Healing Stress and Trauma

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) is a body-based practice developed by Dr. David Berceli to assist individuals in releasing deep-seated muscular tension and stress. Through a series of simple exercises, TRE® activates the body’s natural tremor mechanism, promoting relaxation and restoring balance to the nervous system.

How TRE Heals trauma, anxiety, depression, and chronic pain

How TRE® Works

TRE® involves performing specific movements that fatigue certain muscle groups, particularly in the lower body. This process encourages the body to enter a state of neurogenic tremoring—a natural shaking response observed in animals as a way to discharge stress. By allowing these tremors to occur, individuals can release built-up tension and return to a state of equilibrium.

Benefits of TRE®

Regular practice of TRE® has been associated with various benefits, including:

  • Reduction in anxiety and stress levels
  • Improved sleep quality
  • Enhanced emotional resilience
  • Alleviation of chronic pain
  • Decreased symptoms of PTSD
  • Better digestion and overall well-being

These outcomes are supported by anecdotal reports and preliminary studies, suggesting TRE® as a promising complementary approach to traditional therapies.

Safety and Considerations

While TRE® is generally safe for most individuals, it’s essential to approach the practice mindfully. Those with significant medical conditions or a history of severe trauma should consult with a healthcare professional or certified TRE® provider before beginning. The exercises are designed to be self-regulating, allowing practitioners to stop at any point if discomfort arises.

Getting Started with TRE®

For those interested in exploring TRE®, it’s advisable to start under the guidance of a certified practitioner who can provide personalized instruction and ensure a safe experience. Once familiar with the techniques, individuals can incorporate TRE® into their regular self-care routines to manage stress and enhance overall health.

By tapping into the body’s innate ability to heal through movement, TRE® offers a unique pathway to release tension and foster a sense of inner calm.
