Learning to do TRE®

TRE® is a safe and effective stress release technique for most people. Although the exercises appear simple and easy to learn, the greatest value to learning the TRE® process is with a Certified TRE® Provider in the beginning. You will be taught how to activate the tremors and how to self regulate the TRE® process according to your physical and psychological comfort levels. TRE®, like any other new method requires practice and may take some time to get the hang of it.

You will be guided through the TRE® process until you feel confident to begin practicing TRE® on your own. Within about six sessions a new mind-body awareness and understanding of the TRE® process is achieved. Once you have learnt how to activate and regulate the process TRE® can be practiced at home as a life long tool to release unresolved tension patterns and manage your own stress levels.

Though many people report immediate benefits from a single session of TRE®, it is recommended that TRE® be used as a consistent practice, either alone or in groups, to sustain its benefits over time.

I provide ongoing support whenever needed to help you develop a regular practice to encourage deep, lasting positive change.

THE FIRST STEP:
TRE® Introductory Sessions or Workshops

Introductory workshops or private sessions not only allow you to experience TRE® in a safe environment, but also gives you the foundation for understanding this natural neuro-physiological response.

You will be introduced to the history and origin of TRE® and basic theory of how TRE® helps to release stress, tension and trauma patterns in the body. You will also be provided the opportunity to have a short, guided personal experience of TRE®.

Suitable for all fitness levels as the TRE® exercises can be modified to accommodate individual needs.

Most people describe the experience as pleasant and many report improvements in their physical and emotional state.

There are two choices:

Private TRE® Introductory Sessions (1½ hours)

Suitable for people who prefer a more personalized, intimate experience.

Private sessions are recommended for those who have physical challenges or those who have a history of trauma where individualized attention is more suitable.

Contact me to find out more about Private TRE® Introductory Sessions.

TRE® Introductory group workshops (2 hours)

More cost effective than private sessions and is suitable for people who are willing to share the experience with others.

See the calendar for upcoming events.

STEP TWO:
Learning TRE® After the Introductory Session/Workshop

There are a variety of options available to learning TRE® and to support your ongoing TRE® practice:

  • Private Sessions (either in-person or online)
  • Weekly Open Group Classes
  • Workshops or Retreats

TRE® Private Sessions

In-Person or Online (1 hours)

Private sessions are suitable for those who:

  • Prefer a more personalized, intimate experience. Private sessions are recommended for those who have physical challenges or those who have a history of trauma where individualized attention is beneficial.
  • Have been doing TRE® for a while and need further support in self-regulating their practice and are uncomfortable with the emotions or physical sensations that arise as they do TRE®.
  • Feel ready to deepen their TRE® experience or to explore ways of encouraging the movements to flow more freely throughout the body.

Private sessions are held in person at the Integral Health Studio, Constantia or Online (via Skype/Zoom).

Online sessions are also an appropriate and convenient medium for people who are unable to attend in person sessions, those who don’t have access to a local TRE® Provider or if you simply have some questions regarding your TRE® practice.
