What is TRE?
TRE, or tension releasing exercises, are a series of 7 gentle exercises that activate the natural reflex mechanism within your muscles that produce tremors. In real life, shaking is a perfectly normal physiological reaction, for example a shaky jaw, hands or knees, when you’re experiencing anxiety, nervousness or fear. Animals in the wild shake all the time – watch a gazelle being chased by a lion, if it then escapes, and you will see it shake, or quiver all over. This is the animals’ way of releasing the adrenaline, shock or extra charge out of their bodies. They are then more able to carry on life as normal. Whereas in our society, when younger we were quite often told to ‘stop crying,’ don’t be angry!’ Or would hold in our fears and emotions so as not to be portrayed as vulnerable or weak.
Tension Release Exercises is a way of releasing any tension or held patterns in the body, in a safe and controlled environment.
For me personally, TRE has been helpful in making me feel less anxious, and I feel a lot more confident talking to a group than I did before. I still feel fear, but feel I am more able to cope with it. Doing TRE has also decreased my period pain, and I had a constant dull pain in my sacrum, which has now gone completely.
But the more able we are to release extra charge held within our bodies, the more able we are at dealing with life, and everything it throws at us.
Who is it for?
Anyone and everyone above the age of 7 years old! For anyone dealing with general day-to-day stress, anxiety, emotional difficulties, physical aches and pains, and deeper set patterns of unresolved trauma.
What happens during a session?
Wearing comfortable clothing, I guide you through the set of 7 gentle exercises which are designed to activate natural tremors within your muscles. You then lie on the floor with knees apart and feet together (similar to a yoga position) and bring your knees in slowly which will activate the tremoring process.
Then enjoy! I encourage people to be curious and have an open dialogue during the process.
