TRE® - Tension and trauma releasing exercises
A simple yet powerful, body-led sequence of exercises for releasing stress, tension and trauma.
What is TRE®?
TRE® is an easy-to-learn, body-centred method that helps release the tension and stress we carry, and find the way back to the body's natural balance.
Performing this simple sequence of exercises safely activates a natural vibration, a tremor in the body, which releases muscle tension, calms the nervous system and supports the body in returning to a balanced state. In doing so it helps release the earlier imprints of stress, tension and trauma stored within it.
TRE® was created by Dr. David Berceli Ph.D., the internationally recognised expert in trauma treatment and conflict resolution. Over the past almost three decades this method has brought enormous relief into the lives of a great many people.
Practising it can reduce both the physical and the psychological effects of stress and trauma: anxiety, depression, insomnia, inattention and bodily pain.
Have you ever seen a dog tremble during fireworks? Or a bird that flew into a window and, after a brief freeze, shakes itself off? These are all natural reactions - this is how the body helps to „shake out” accumulated tension. TRE® activates exactly this ancient mechanism in us.
- It safely triggers the body's natural tremor reflex, which calms the nervous system and releases muscular tension.
- It releases deeply held stress and physical tension stored in the body.
- It strengthens physical, emotional and mental resilience, and the sense of grounding and balance.

Testimonials
1st session
„From the very start of the session, Viki creates a very calm and safe atmosphere through her mere presence. She gave a detailed and clear explanation of what was going to happen, answering any questions that came up as well. Her kindness inspires trust! Creating this safe space helped me a lot to connect with myself during the exercises and to fully experience what followed, brought on by the tremoring. It was an exciting new experience; relief washed over me both physically and emotionally. It was as if I were channelling out burdens and pains. I felt lighter and freer! I could hardly wait for the next session."
2nd session
„This time I already knew what to expect from the exercise, so I was able to let go even more and simply allow it to happen. The tremoring came easily, too. I felt really good during the exercises, and even more than before I experienced the tension flowing out of me. During the relaxation a liberating sense of relief washed over me, which later turned into an energy that made me feel truly energised, as if I were being reborn! The music also helped a lot in experiencing this. I can hardly wait to continue."
