TRE® is an innovative, self-empowerment process which can be used to diminish the physiological and psychological effects of tension, stress, anxiety and even trauma. Body and mind are able to function better – with ease and renewed vigour. TRE® is based on the fundamental idea, backed by recent research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical.
The TRE® exercises deliberately invoke the body’s innate shaking and tremoring reflex to physically release the tight muscles and tendons throughout the body. It is a highly effective way to address the effects of chronic stress and unresolved tension and trauma because it gradually enables the body and mind to reintegrate. The muscle vibrations are pleasant and soothing. People often describe the following benefits after practicing TRE®:
- more clarity and ability to focus attention,
- improved capacity to relax and let to of troubling thoughts, worries and tensions,
- greater physical flexibility and mobility,
- reduced muscular tightness and/or pain,
- greater mental flexibility, openness and creativity,
- better emotional regulation,
- improved sleep, relationships and communication,
- better judgement, insight and trust of one’s gut feelings
- improved cognitive and physical performance.
Best of all, TRE® is simple to learn (in a 2 hours class) and can be practised daily for 5-10 minutes to start getting the benefits. It is empowering. You have total control to start or stop the shaking. As you become comfortable and excited by the results, you will want to practice TRE® to help facilitate the restoration of mind body harmony. You can use it in times of need e.g. when stressed, anxious, over-tired, in pain, emotional, injured, or in anticipation of a stressful event, to help relax, prepare and settle yourself.

Considerations
TRE® is a safe and effective stress release technique for most people. It should not be used as a substitute for trauma recovery procedures of a medical or psychiatric/psychological nature. Individuals with fragile psychological defenses, a complex history of trauma or restricting physical or medical limitations should consult their medical practitioner or a Certified TRE Provider prior to performing these exercises.
