TENSION/Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®)

Tension/Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®) is a body-mind therapeutic intervention. It was originally designed by David Berceli, Ph.D, an international expert in the area of trauma treatment. This revolutionary technique is designed to help release deep seated tension in the body due to daily chronic stress or past or recent traumatic events. Benefits include the release of tension and stress and the processing and integration of past traumas. Additional benefits include a greater capacity for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and emotional resilience. TRE® also has the potential to increase one's ability for positive social engagement and one's overall physical and psychological wellbeing.
