Principles and flow of TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)
TRE® (Tension, Stress & Trauma Releasing Exercises), developed by Dr. David Berceli, activates the body’s innate neurogenic tremor reflex to discharge muscular tension.
Through 7 simple biomechanical exercises that gently fatigue the leg and pelvic musculature (notably the psoas muscle), involuntary tremors arise, releasing neuro-fascial stress without speaking about traumatic events.
Primary Areas of Self-Inquiry Work:
- ✦Physiologically discharging chronic tension stored across back, neck, and pelvic fascia
- ✦Down-regulating cortisol and adrenaline to facilitate deep nervous system recovery
- ✦Quieting anxiety loops, hyperarousal, and persistent sleep disruptions
- ✦Acquiring a lifelong, self-directed self-regulation tool for home practice
What does a session look like?
Process structure aligned with source school protocol
Sequential stretches to activate and fatigue the calf, thigh, and pelvic muscle groups.
Lying supine with soles together, allowing neurogenic tremors to travel up the psoas.
Consciously stopping the tremors, resting in stillness, and grounding.
- •Clients maintain full control and can stop tremors instantly by straightening their legs.
- •After 3–5 sessions with a Certified Provider, clients can practice safely at home.
- •Contraindications include recent fractures, post-operative healing, aneurysms, epilepsy, and psychosis.
How much does a TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) session cost and what determines the price?
The fee for a certified TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) session typically ranges from 400 to 1200 PLN (or €100–€300) per session. This cost directly reflects the nature of the process:
- 1.1. Multi-hour 1:1 dedicated time: According to the protocol of TRE® for All (Dr. David Berceli), the process requires booking 60 – 75 minutes, rather than a conventional 50-minute clinical hour.
- 2.2. Manual diploma verification: The directory exclusively lists practitioners with verified parent school credentials, excluding unverified weekend course certificates.
- 3.3. Integration support: A grounded process includes an extensive pre-session interview and dedicated integration guidelines following completion.
