​​​TRE® (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) is an innate, natural way of working with the body.

 

Rather than trying to change how you think or feel, it allows the body to do what it already knows: gradually releasing patterns of tension and returning to a more settled state. 

​​

"Instead of focusing solely on managing symptoms,
TRE
® brings the body into the process."

What is TRE®?

TRE® is a series of exercises that invite a natural response within the body, often experienced as subtle tremors or vibrations. 

This is a built-in mechanism, shared across all mammals, that supports the body in regulating itself. 

There is nothing to force, push or perform and it is led by your body. 

 

 

 

 

How does it work?

In everyday life, body and mind continuously adapt and respond, often without the opportunity to fully settle afterwards. 

This leaves our internal 'alarm system' running in the background. 

TRE® creates the conditions for this physiological process to finally complete and as the body begins to respond, it naturally begins to: 

  • Release physical tension

  • Shift towards a more settled and relaxed state

  • Return to a greater sense of lightness in body and mind

  • Feel more balanced and less reactive 
     

All without the need to analyse or revisit past experiences.  

"Dogs shake it off after a stressful incident.

Your body has the same ability, it simply needs a reminder."

You are very welcome to arrange a short conversation to explore whether this approach might be a good fit for you.   

A woman (Sylvia, the TRE Provider) is demonstrating the wall sit (pretending to sit on a chair, her back leaning against the wall). This is one of the TRE warm-up exercises. 
Sylvia is wearing a teal long-sleeved top and dark blue, tight gym trousers. She is smiling warmly at the camera. 
The wall is light wood, the background shows a wooden panel with house plants sitting on top of it, in front of a white brick wall.

There is an undiscovered gift

inside the human body
and I am just trying to help people

and say:
this gift is in you, use it, because it's designed to help you."

​Here's an introduction to TRE®, along with my personal experience and a short demonstration. 

Please note, these videos are unpolished, the focus is on sharing something helpful, rather than on production.
