Drop-in TRE Tension Stress and Trauma Releasing Exercises SessionsYour
body already has an amazing reflex mechanism to relieve stress and
trauma. It's shaking
TRE as a method is relatively new, but shaking as a body’s way to
release stress and trauma is as old as humankind. Unfortunately the
more we evolve the less we trust in our bodies’ wisdom to naturally
self regulate. Nowadays shaking is seen as a sign of weakness and most
of us very effectively learnt to control and suppress it.
Trauma, bottling up stress or "grin and bear it" attitudes result in
muscular tension and contraction of the whole system. The more tension
we hold in our bodies the more danger alert signals are conveyed to
the brain and it can get stuck in defensive strategies. Even if there
is no immediate danger, we are constantly tense, alert and ready to
fight, flee or freeze. Our nervous system is in a state of dis-balance
and our body in a state of dis-ease as rest, growth and repair
functions are supressed.
During TRE sessions we create a safe space and provide supportive
guidance for you to bring the shaking reflex back on-line, befriend
the tremors and explore their ability to assist your body to release
deep patterns of held tension and discharge stress.
To activate the tremors we will do a sequence of 7 simple exercises to
stretch and fatigue certain muscles. The shaking is involuntary but
you will be in control of your process. The experience is very
individual and it doesn’t really matter how you shake. In TRE we
consider every involountary movement as beneficial.
TRE calms down and rebalances our nervous system. When we release the
residual charge of the uncompleted stress response cycles from the
past, we become more relaxed and our brains start detecting safety
instead of danger. The body can then function optimally, digestion
improves, inflammation reduces and energy levels increase. You will
become less reactive and more able to remain graceful under the
pressures of modern life. Immediate benefits of TRE include sense of
deep relaxation, feelings of openness in the body and improved sleep.
TRE also brings us closer to the experience of our bodies and enhances
the sense of aliveness, which in everyday life manifests as happiness,
joy and richer connections to self and others.
TRE, once learned, can be used on a regular basis as a self-directed
practice.
Sessions are open to anyone 18yo+.
