TRE® is a powerful and yet simple way to access the body's ability to shake off tension and stress.  It's a physical practice, in which we trigger the tremoring through simple stretches and muscle stress exercises, then lie on a mat and allow the body to release, in a sustained, yet controlled and gentle way.  Many clients describe is as feeling like a massage from the inside out.  Every exercise can be modified to suit individual clients, and you are completely in control of your own process and participation at all times; so you learn how to initiate tremors and also how to stop the process.

As a "no-talking" practice, there is no need to talk about any of your reasons for attending, although you are welcome to share any information and ask questions if you wish.  Simply come, learn the practice and leave with all you need to start safe and effective home practice.

Dr Peter Levine discovered the stress and tension busting secret of tremoring whilst working as stress consultant to NASA.  He realised that autonomic shaking (in the way animals do) allows the nervous system to "stand down" and restore homeostasis (balance) (You can read his words below).  Dr David Berceli later created TRE as a simple and empowering way to access these autonomic movements.

As our innate physiological release method it's the "fast-track" to releasing tension from the body and mind; it's easier than we think to let go and feel better on  a physical , emotional and mental level, we just need to re-learn how.

Workshops provide a fast, effective way to learn the TRE practice and to enable safe  use at home when needed. At my studio, they have a maximum of 4 participants and include:

• Half day workshop - two experiential sessions, separated by a drink/snack break and theory talk
  

• Also included: breath work and grounding exercises.
  

• Introductory education presentation to watch at home before the workshop
  

• Course materials, including home practice guide
  

• Support (if required) before and after session/s
  

• Guided TRE audio recording

• Confidentiality/Privacy fully respected

On this workshop you will:

• Learn first hand how TRE reignites the body’s innate stress/tension release mechanism and experience your body/mind decompressing and growing in resilience.
  

• Learn how to control the TRE and importantly how to stop the tremoring when you need to.

• Understand the science behind TRE and how TRE works.
  

• Learn how to confidently and safely manage your home practice.
  

• Receive guidance about adapting TRE practice to your specific needs.

• Learn additional Breathwork, grounding  and "containment" techniques, which can be used at any time to calm the nervous system and support emotional regulation.  This are vital tools for those recovering from trauma and PTSD (particularly complex PTSD), as well as being helpful practices for everyone.

In addition to learning vital wellbeing skills, the actual sessions will be an opportunity to let go, relax your body and mind , reset your nervous system, and renew your energy. The setting is a calm one, with soft lighting, comfortable blankets and pillows, and relaxing music. Please note the finish time may vary slightly depending on questions asked/talking time needed for participants, so please allow 15 minutes leeway.
