TRE® 

Have you ever had that moment after you almost got into a car accident, were scared, or something upset you and you felt your body slightly shaking after it was over? That is your nervous system trying to release the energy left over from that quick burst of fight or flight that you didn't use. If you are in an environment where you can't let that happen or, like most of us, if people are around you don't want to look weird or scared or weak, it doesn't get to be released. So, what happens then? Repeated exposure to stressors or trauma (could be one big event or accumulation of many smaller events) builds up in our body when we don't release it and our body and nervous system can enter into a chronic state of fight/flight/freeze also known as sympathetic dominance. We are only meant to be there for short periods of time to get through the danger our nervous system has perceived.  This can dysregulate your nervous system which can lead to issues with sleep, anxiety, depression, difficulty regulating our emotions. It also can lead to chronic pain, tension patterns held in the body, digestive issues and a host of other things. 

​

TRE® is a series of easily accessible exercises, for any body or age, that gently fatigue your lower body, therefore allowing your nervous system to start the inborn tremoring mechanism in your body to help release the stress, tension and/or trauma that is being held.
