What is TRE?
TRE uses seven exercises to release the psoas muscle, the deepest and largest muscle in the body. This powerful muscle holds physical, emotional, and mental stress that we carry in our bodies over the course of our lives. We have all experienced trauma, and there are many forms that we may have come in contact with.
Different types of trauma and stress include:
Different types of trauma and stress include:
- Physical: sports training, surgery, birth, car accidents, falling off your bike, abuse, injury
- Emotional: relationships, grief/loss, moving homes, divorce
- Mental: workplace environment, worry, school, lack of control, parents, children, addiction
- Vicarious: exposure to negative news on TV or social media, exposure to an intense work environment (ie. police officer, firefighter, paramedic)
- Compassionate: listening to family/friends' problems
- Generational: trauma that gets passed on culturally, historically, from family and ancestors
How does TRE work?
The exercises are gentle, easy to learn, and are a simple form of stretching. Each major muscle group of the lower body are fatigued to induce a natural muscular shaking process called tremoring.
What will I experience in a TRE session?
Typically people experience tremors in their legs, hips, and abdomen during their first session. After practicing TRE consistently, people experience tremors up the spine, in the cranium, arms and at any point of restriction in the body. Experiences may also be an emotional, mental, or energetic discharge. For beginners, TRE is recommend once or twice a week for 15 minutes or less. While the exercises appear simple, it is important to note that 4~6 supervised sessions by a TRE provider are recommended to ensure that the participant is able to self-regulate, practice safely, and is aware of the sensations experienced in his/her body. TRE should not be practiced without a TRE provider if any discomfort arises during or afterwards, ie. pain, fear, anxiety, headache, and/or nausea. Adverse reactions such as difficulty breathing, feeling overwhelmed, and numbness in the body indicate that your TRE practice needs to be modified. A TRE provider can work with clients to regulate these responses.
