Trauma Release Exercise (TRE®): Shake It Off! with Alyce Sorokie
Our bodies “speak” our history! The experience of mental, emotional, or physical pain often results in stress and/or trauma. Some people may carry it with them for the rest of their life, allowing it to interfere with the correct and accurate perception of people, places, objects and experiences in the present. The healing of stress and/or trauma, whether physiological, cognitive, emotional or interpersonal, begins in the body.
Release the Past for Healing Now
TRE® (Tension, Stress & Trauma Release Exercise) is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE® safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system, releasing deep chronic tension from the sacrum to the cranium, often without recalling the “stories” or the past “issues in the tissues.” When this muscular shaking / vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return to a state of balance.
Peace Begins With Me
TRE® can release emotions ranging from mild upset to severe anxiety, whether it is caused by work stress, excessive worry, conflict in relationships, physical stresses or traumas from accidents. Additionally, TRE® has been reported to reduce pain, increase mobility and aid healing of past injuries. When tension is released anywhere in the body, the brain registers a reduction in pain signals and produces new hormones for relaxation and comfort. Often, this release of tension is much like receiving an internal massage.
Who can benefit from TRE®?
Anyone who would like more patience with your family, or if you have suffered from chronic illness, been a victim of violence or accident, a soldier suffering with PTSD, a caretaker or simply a person who wants to become more resilient and just feel better about life, you can benefit from TRE®.
