What is T.R.E®?

The acronym T.R.E.® stands for Tension & Trauma Releasing exercises.

It is a very effective technique that was developed by Dr. David Berceli, Ph.D, to assist the body in releasing deep muscle tension patterns that may have been caused by stress and/or trauma.

A series of exercises target specific muscles that can help trigger a built-in shaking or vibrating mechanism that promotes dissipation of muscular tension.

When practiced in a safe and controlled environment this technique helps restore the body’s own Homeostasis. 

The beauty of this technique is that, once learned, this Self-Healing technique can be practiced independently (hence it is very accessible) and it is very supportive of other therapeutic modalities that are employed in trauma treatment.
In addition, being body-based, it requires no recollection or re-experiencing of the traumatic events in the past.

With regular practice,

individuals build the capacity to connect with their bodies and feel at ease within the chaos of daily life.

TESTIMONIALS

Not knowing what to expect from the first session of TRE I was quite pleasantly surprised.
Immediately after the class I felt deep relaxation and calmness.
Physically I felt less tension throughout the body and I noticed that the chronic leg pain I had been experiencing had greatly reduced and this improvement continued for a few days after the initial session.
Throughout the session I felt comfortable as the instruction was clear and easy to follow, and the exercises were simple yet effective.
So far I only tried it once but I am looking forward to try it again and explore how it may be able to support my health in the long run. Thank you

My first experience with TRE was wonderful. The stretches are so gentle, supportive and relaxing and the exercise itself, while subtle, was incredibly powerful.
And Daphne is a caring, comforting and informative presence throughout the entire experience.
For many years I have experienced occasional intermittent blocks of time with numbness in my hands at night which wakes me from my sleep.
It was during one of these times that I first experienced TRE and my sleep that night was seamless, my hands were peaceful all the night through.
Connecting in with, trusting , and witnessing my body’s spectacular innate intelligence is another wonderful benefit of this work.
Although I have spent many years in chiropractic care and already have a healthy sense of this intelligence, doing the TRE work took this to a whole new level, where I feel like I have an active and interactive, bond of trust with that intelligence.

TRE eases and releases tension that is present in the moment, it also accesses and works through deeper layers I was unaware of.
Tapping into my body’s own tremoring mechanism, TRE reminds me that my body has the capacity to heal itself. The movement leads the way while my mind stays conscious, allowing me to feel safe during the healing process.
The benefits following a session continue to unfold over the course of a few days. After working with Daphne I have noticed a heightened sense of calm, less tension in my muscles, a greater capacity to roll with daily stressors, and a deeper grounding in my body.
Daphne is a wonderful practitioner, present, calm and attentive, she will accompany you in your experience, helping with your alignment and guiding your awareness to be with whatever arises. I highly recommend TRE and working with Daphne!

...the body is a pure history book of what has happened to it. This is because, unlike the ego, it cannot make things up. What it tells us about ourselves is pure and undistorted.
