What is TRE (Tension - Trauma Releasing Exercise) Therapy?

TRE is a structured, somatic technique that assists the body in releasing chronic muscular tension and nervous system dysregulation associated with stress and trauma. It works by activating a natural tremor reflex, which facilitates the discharge of stored neuromuscular patterns safely and effectively.

When guided by a certified TRE practitioner, this approach allows the body to recalibrate without requiring direct exposure to traumatic memories. TRE can support improved emotional regulation, reduction of chronic tension, and enhanced nervous system stability. Once trained, clients can continue to use TRE independently as a self-management tool to maintain physical and psychological wellbeing.

Clinical Applications / Benefits:

  • Regulation of the autonomic nervous system
  • Reduction of muscular tension and physical stress symptoms
  • Support for anxiety, hyperarousal, and trauma-related stress
  • Enhancement of emotional resilience and self-regulation
  • Complementary tool alongside counselling, psychotherapy, or other body-based

What results you can expect?

TRE can assist in obtaining and supporting optime health, many report they sleep more deeply and soundly, have better clarity, and can function in a calmer state of mind therefore handling everyday stresses with more ease. When our natural tremoring mechanism and neurogenic muscular shaking is activated in a safe environment our bodies naturally release tension and stress almost immediately. After experiencing a session TRE can be practiced at home in your own time for a little as 5-10 mins a day and the benefits will continue to be felt as release layer by layer. For deeper and more focused sessions we can continue to work one-on one.

Benefits you can experience:

  • Less worry & stress
  • Reduction in PTSD symptoms
  • Improved relationships in all areas of your life
  • Improved sleep quality.
  • Reduction in muscle, back & neck pain.
  • More emotional resilience
  • Better coping abilities
  • Improved mental health.
  • Enhanced capacity to deal with adversity.

Who is the founder of TRE and how it was created?

TRE was created by Dr David Berceli who has spent decades working with trauma intervention in a number of countries that were experiencing war and unrest.

David created this revolutionary technique and is designed to help release the deep tension created in the body during a traumatic experience or through chronic stress.  He is also the energetic and creative founder and CEO of Trauma Recovery Services.

This is simple way of activating the body’s natural ability to reset and regulate our nervous systems and enhance more ease and grace into our lives.
