Tension & Trauma Release Exercises
A Natural Practice for Releasing Deep Stress & Restoring Balance
TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple yet powerful self-care practice that helps your body and fascia naturally release deep tension, stress, and trauma.
What is TRE®?
Through a series of gentle movements and mild muscle fatigue, TRE® invites your body into a state of neurogenic tremoring, a natural shaking response that both animals and humans use to release excess energy after stressful events. This innate reflex helps discharge the "fight or flight" energy stored in the nervous system, gently bringing your body back to its natural rhythm and balance.
Over time, chronic stress and unresolved trauma can show up as physical tension, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that feel stuck or difficult to shift. TRE® works from the inside out, helping to unwind holding and bracing patterns, soften deep layers of tension, and support the restoration of your body's natural flow and vitality.
This practice is safe, accessible, and deeply supportive when guided with intention. TRE® can be used alongside other healing modalities, including traditional therapy, somatic work, and other wellness practices as appropriate.
TRE® is practiced around the world and is known for supporting individual healing as well as strengthening connections within families and communities.
Benefits of TRE®
TRE® is a powerful tool for anyone dealing with stress or trauma, whether from everyday life, demanding work environments, or high-stress professions like healthcare, therapy, first responders, or military service. This practice helps release tension stored in the nervous system, bringing you back to a state of ease, peace, and balance.
Whether practiced individually or in groups, TRE® helps restore your body's natural rhythm and resilience, supporting healing on both personal and collective levels. TRE® providers worldwide guide people from all walks of life toward greater wellbeing and nervous system regulation.
Through regular practice, TRE® helps you connect more deeply with your body's natural wisdom. It allows you to integrate and embody insights that may have previously been understood only mentally or emotionally. TRE® is a universal practice that transcends any specific belief system and speaks to our shared human experience of stress and healing.
When practiced regularly, TRE® supports us in responding from our higher brain centers, the parts that support empathy, clear thinking, and creative problem-solving rather than reactive patterns.
