Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) Class

We are living in chronically high stress times with limited access to resources and fewer options for self-care. TRE® is a safe and accessible way to help your body relieve stress and tension.

TRE® is a series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. TRE® safely activates the natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system.

Some of the benefits that you may experience by practicing TRE® are:

• decreased anxiety
• release of chronic tension
• improved sleep, mood & digestion
• decreased aches and pains
• improved flexibility
• decreased symptoms of sciatica, fibromyalgia and other chronic conditions

In this workshop you will be taught the TRE® exercises and brought through a tremor session with a group. After this workshop you will be able to continue with TRE® on your own or you may inquire about individual TRE® sessions.

Objectives:

• Participants will be introduced to the Tension/Trauma Releasing Exercise (TRE) process
• Participants will be able to complete the Trauma Release Exercises and be brought through a tremor session
• Participants will have a brief introduction to the psoas muscle and its role in stress and trauma
• Participants will have a brief introduction to the role of neurogenic tremors in the body

Please note that this is an experiential workshop open to everyone. However, if you are a therapist and want CEUs, you are welcome to purchase the CEU add-on for 1.5 CEU credits.
