Benefits of TRE

Through working with the body in a spontaneous, pre-verbal way, you can experience many benefits. Here are a few:

1. Releasing deeply-held tension and trauma that has evaded other treatments.
2. Less anxiety and stress, whether everyday tension or something deeper.
3. Feeling the body, again. Bessel van der Kolk says that “dissociation is the essence of trauma”, and TRE is a fantastic way to reinvigorate the body and recover lost feeling.
4. Better sleep and recovery. Releasing tension and holding patterns allows us to relax and recovery more easily.
5. Improved self-regulation. Practicing TRE can help you improve the “skill of feeling”, increasing your capacity to deal with life without shutting down.
6. Meditation without meditation! People often report that whilst they struggle to meditate, shaking often leads to a peaceful, thought-free state.

“The imprint of trauma occurs in the reptilian brain (stem) not in the cortex. We need a treatment that addresses the primitive parts of the brain as well as the cognitive parts.”
