LEGOLAND Discovery Center ArizonaIntro to TRE- Learn how to activate your own healing!
Explore Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises, or TRE, in an introductory session that presents a simple series of movements intended to help the body let go of deep patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. The sequence elicits an innate shaking response that helps unwind tight muscles and quiet the nervous system. When this reflex is engaged in a supportive setting, the body is encouraged to return toward balance. TRE is grounded in the understanding, backed by research, that the effects of stress and trauma are both psychological and physical. The natural vibrations often feel soothing, and many people report a sense of peace and well-being after practicing. Created by Dr. David Berceli, an internationally recognized specialist in trauma intervention and conflict resolution, TRE has supported many thousands of people worldwide. It can be helpful for parents or spouses seeking more patience at home, survivors of violence or accidents, soldiers living with PTSD, athletes, and anyone interested in building resilience and feeling better in daily life.
