What is TRE ®?
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple yet powerful somatic practice that helps the body release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma.
Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE® uses a series of gentle movements to activate the body’s natural shaking or tremoring response—a built-in mechanism that helps us discharge built-up stress and restore a sense of balance in the nervous system.
These tremors are completely natural and often feel relieving, calming, and grounding. When practiced in a safe, supported environment, TRE® can help us return to a greater sense of ease, regulation, and connection with ourselves.
Whether you're holding tension from everyday stress or carrying deeper layers of unresolved trauma, TRE® offers a body-led way to soften, release, and reconnect.
What are the benefits of TRE ®?
TRE® supports the body in doing what it already knows how to do—release, regulate, and restore. By tapping into this natural process, many people experience:
- A deeper sense of calm and groundedness
- Reduced physical tension and tightness
- Greater emotional resilience
- Support with anxiety, overwhelm, and stress
- Improved sleep and restfulness
- A feeling of being more at home in the body
- Relief from the lingering effects of trauma or burnout
Because TRE® works directly with the nervous system, the benefits often unfold gently over time. With regular practice, many people find themselves responding to life with more ease, capacity, and connection.
How Can I Practice TRE®?
There are a few ways to begin or deepen your TRE® practice. It's important to choose the format that feels most supportive for where you are right now.
Group Classes
Practicing in a small group setting offers the opportunity to be gently guided through TRE® while being held in a supportive, non-judgemental space. Sharing is always optional, and you’re welcome to simply show up, move at your own pace, and take what you need from the experience. Many people find that practicing alongside others helps them feel grounded and less alone in their process.
1:1 Sessions
If you’re new to somatic work, navigating trauma, or prefer a more personalised approach, individual sessions can provide a safer and more tailored space. We can move slowly, explore together, and support your nervous system in a way that’s paced and attuned to you.
Ongoing Practice
Once you’ve learned the foundations, TRE® can become a self-led practice that you return to as needed. Over time, many people begin to notice more ease in their body, a greater capacity to manage stress, and subtle shifts in how they respond to life.
