What is TRE®?

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a simple yet powerful somatic practice that helps your body naturally release deep tension, stress, & trauma.

Through a series of gentle movements & mild muscle activation, TRE® invites your body into a state of neurogenic tremoring—a natural shaking response that animals & humans alike use to release excess energy after stress or threat. This innate reflex helps discharge the “fight or flight” energy stored in the nervous system, gently bringing your body back to its natural rhythm & balance.

Over time, chronic stress and unresolved trauma can show up as physical tension, emotional overwhelm, & patterns that feel hard to shift. TRE® works from the inside out, helping to unwind holding patterns, soften deep layers of tension, & support the restoration of your body’s natural flow & vitality.

This practice is safe, accessible, & deeply supportive when guided with care. It can also be used alongside other healing modalities—including somatic therapies, plant medicine integration, & microdosing protocols—to enhance your healing journey.

TRE® is practiced all over the world & is known not just for individual healing, but for creating deeper connection within families & communities.

Disclaimer:
TRE® is a safe & natural method for many people, but it’s not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. If you have a history of severe trauma, complex PTSD, or a medical condition, please consult with your healthcare provider or set up a consultation so we can discuss whether this practice is right for you. All sessions are offered with care, consent, & at your own pace.

Benefits of TRE®

TRE® is a powerful tool for anyone dealing with stress or trauma—whether it’s from everyday life, demanding work environments, or the unique stresses of professions like bodywork, therapy, first responders, or the military. This practice is designed to help release tension stored in the nervous system, bringing you back to a state of ease, peace, and balance.

Whether you’re practicing alone or in a group, TRE® helps restore your body’s natural rhythm & resilience, supporting healing on both individual & collective levels. Dr. Berceli & TRE® providers facilitate this process globally, guiding people from all walks of life toward greater well-being.

Through regular practice, TRE® helps you connect deeper with your body’s natural wisdom. It allows you to embody knowledge that may have previously been understood only on a cognitive or emotional level. TRE® doesn’t subscribe to any specific religious or belief system—it’s a universal practice that speaks to our shared human experience.

If embraced widely, TRE® can help us all engage more often from our neocortex—the part of our brain that supports empathy, problem-solving, & solutions-based thinking.

Many benefits can emerge from a consistent TRE® practice which can include:
