Tension and Trauma Reducing Exercises

***This training is scheduled to take place in person. The location is 975 Foothills Rd Greenville SC 29617 at Charles E. Shipman Training Room. *** 

TRE® is an innovative series of exercises that assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma. The exercises safely activate a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return back to a state of balance.

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (or TRE®) is based on the fundamental idea, backed by research, that stress, tension and trauma is both psychological and physical. TRE®’s reflexive muscle vibrations generally feel pleasant and soothing. After doing TRE®, many people report feelings of peace and well-being. TRE® has helped many thousands of people globally.

TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that, once learned, can be used independently as needed throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wellness.

Objectives:

1. Participants will learn about the history of TRE®, how they can become certified in TRE®, and how this can be a useful tool for patients who have experienced trauma.

2. Participants will learn the 7 exercises of TRE®.

Participants will have a TRE® experiential session.  (Yoga mats, exercise clothing or clothing you can move your body in, and a small pillow is recommended).

Through her experience, Helen recognized that not only did trauma play a significant role in substance use disorders as well as other brain diseases, but that trauma treatments were effective, but often could be re-traumatizing and did not have a lasting effect. Helen also recognized the body/mind connection with trauma and that somatic therapies were helpful. She has studied and practiced different trauma therapies including psychotherapy, CBT, DBT, and somatic therapies including TRE or Tension and Trauma Reducing Exercises.
