Healing written on natural stones for TRE

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises)

TRE® is a gentle, body-based technique that helps release deep patterns of muscular tension, stress, and trauma. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE® activates the body’s natural shaking or tremor reflex—supporting nervous system regulation, emotional healing, and long-term resilience.

What Are the Benefits of TRE®?

With regular practice, TRE® may support:

Reduced symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, and chronic stress
Better sleep and increased energy
Relief from chronic pain and muscle tension
Greater emotional resilience and self-regulation
Reduced workplace and relationship conflict
Healing of trauma stored in the body
Lessened symptoms of vicarious/secondary trauma
Enhanced intimacy, connection, and emotional clarity
A more grounded, compassionate relationship with yourself
Support in managing chronic illness or long-held emotional patterns

TRE works with your body’s natural intelligence to support deep release and gentle restoration.

Why Begin with Guided Sessions?

Although TRE® is a self-help method, it’s strongly recommended to begin with at least six sessions guided by a certified TRE® provider. This ensures your body has the support it needs to integrate the tremor process safely and effectively—particularly if you're working with trauma or nervous system dysregulation.

A Non-Talking Alternative

TRE® can be a powerful option for those who:

Don’t feel ready or willing to engage in traditional talking therapy
Experience physical symptoms linked to stress or trauma
Prefer a quiet, body-based way of healing that doesn't require verbal processing

Whether your symptoms are mild or more severe, TRE® offers a non-verbal path to healing that is accessible, empowering, and deeply regulating.

TRE® Session Formats

Sessions are available in:

1:1 format (online or in person)
Couples or family sessions
Small groups (up to 10 people)
