The TRE® Technique

Exercises for releasing Tension, Stress, and Trauma

This is one of the techniques that changed my life and allowed me to become friends with my body and to learn how to live with less stress.
You can learn it live or online in the group sessions I provide, or in individual sessions that can include – or not – a psychotherapy component.

TRE® is a somatic practice for accessing the body’s intelligence, that is, its ability to self-regulate and self-organize, through trembling or vibration.

This technique, through which the body’s natural rhythms are reestablished over time, allows you to restore your resources of energy through reorganizing muscular reactions that are coupled with emotional, cognitive, or behavioral patterns which basically keep feeding traumas, anxiety, a post-traumatic stress disorder, or stress.

The tremor (specific to mammals and therefore to humans as well) achieved through this technique is the most natural way in which the body can release contracted patterns, decreasing the load of stress hormones and, as a result, bringing a state of balance in the body.

TRE® goes beyond the barrier of language, of speech, because it is a strictly somatic process that doesn’t require talking about traumatic events or remembering feelings or problems that generated a state that was internalized as stressful and burdensome.

This technique includes six simple physical exercises that activate the body’s natural mechanism for releasing tension and stress: the tremor or vibration.

It is a personal tool to use on our own, at home, in order to relieve and balance the body whenever we go through difficult, demanding, or traumatic situations.

Since the human body generally knows pretty much everything it has to do, i.e. to digest food, repair wounds, or regulate its temperature, it surely knows how to relax as well. All we need to do is to support it and create an adequate environment in which these processes can unfold harmoniously and safely.
