TRE

Trauma/Tension Release Exercises, devised by David Becelli, offer a profound and life changing practice to regulate your nervous system using the natural and innate mechanism the body already has. The same brain stem mechanism that arouses fight/flight/freeze/fawn also has the ability to turn it off, to return to a baseline of connected, calm and responsive.

Benefits of TRE

A Healthy Coping Mechanism

When our nervous system is dysregulated we all have different learned behaviours to calm ourselves; food, alcohol, smoking, drugs, sex, shopping.

You will learn to notice what is happening internally (anxiety, unease, irritation or anger) and can turn to TRE rather than to harmful patterns that increase feelings of helplessness and poor self worth.

Body-Led Healing

TRE uses the body’s natural reflexes to release tension and restore well-being without requiring verbal processing of past trauma.

For many, talking about their past is a barrier to accessing the help they need. TRE reintroduces you to the power of the body, no story needed.

Self-Help and Versatility

Once learned, TRE becomes a lifelong tool for stress relief and emotional regulation. It complements other treatments and can be taught in various settings, including large groups.

You are in control of your own healing this is a very empowering thing to experience that you have ways of coping that aren't in the hands of someone else.

Groups or One to One

How to learn and practice TRE is a personal choice. For many people a group setting is supportive and social and can deepen their experience of the tremors

One to one sessions offer a more personal and tailored experience of exploring your body's response to the tremors and supporting and deepening that directly and specific to you.

Staying Present in the moment

There are lots of resources that offer to support us, such as mindfulness and meditation. Practices that focus on helping us to develop the capacity to stay fully in the present moment.

What is often overlooked is that if you have trauma in your body you do not experience the present moment as safe so you will find that you bounce back into thought easily and frequently.

This is not your fault it is a natural mechanism that you have evolved to find safety. When your fight/flight/freeze responses are activated, the sensations in the body can feel very unsafe and uncomfortable so you disconnect from those sensations and into your mind and thoughts and imaginings.

This is a mechanism that kept you safe as a child when you could not do anything else but now as an adult is it limiting and cuts you off from the fullness of life and your own potential.

Trauma is not about what happened in the past it is very much present and affecting this moment, the wounding is in the present. Underneath this wounding is an inherent and natural sense of safety that can be discovered as the layers of habituated unconscious responses are gently unwound by the body's own intelligent tremor mechanism.
