What is TRE?

TRE or Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises is a somatic trauma-releasing practice that helps the body's nervous system self-regulate with more ease.

It was founded by Bioenergetic Therapist and Ph.D. Clinical Social Worker Dr. David Berceli.

Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises or TRE is a set of 7 specific, beginner-friendly postures designed to prepare the body to naturally and effectively release tension, trauma, and stress.

We will start off the workshop with a short introduction to Katie J, a history of TRE, and a check-in for relevant injuries. Then we will begin with the standing exercises that will mildly fatigue and stretch the muscles associated with the stress response.

Katie will demonstrate each exercise and then guide you through each step of it.

After the standing exercises we make our way to the floor for a few more lightly activating exercises. From there, we will have worked your muscles enough to allow your body to produce a neurogenic tremor.

This somatic tremor is the body’s natural healing response to stored stress and trauma. Some people say the tremor looks like an involuntary shaking of the body (usually in the legs or hips), although it can also show up as a bounce, a sway, chills, emotions, twitch, twist, gyration and more.

Katie will create an environment where you feel present, comfortable, and safe to let your body shake out the tension it’s been holding onto for decades. Join Katie in releasing personal trauma, ancestral trauma, sports trauma, covid trauma, childhood trauma and everything in between!
