Tension and Trauma Release Exercise Workshop

Training is provided to individuals in small group workshops.  Tension/Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) are carefully demonstated and taught to the group in the same way that founder  David Berceli’s teaches it world-wide.  The workshop caters for

  • Beginners who are new to  learning Tension Release Exercises (TRE)
  • Experienced people returning   to refresh their TRE skills and deepen understanding and experience.

The workshop is a chance to learn a simple technique to reduce your stress and tension.  You are welcome to introduce a friend to TRE or  revise your own practice if you have already learned TRE.

In the workshop I will briefly explain the following :

  • How our bodies respond to stress and trauma
  • Why we shake and tremor when we are overwhelmed
  • What happens when we don’t resolve stress and trauma
  • Background to TRE and how it is used worldwide

In the workshop I will spend most of the time:

  • Teaching the group how to do the simple  TRE exercises  and
  • Guiding you through the process to be able to experience neurogenic tremors for  ongoing personal use and relaxation.
