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

Step 01Stage 1: Health Intake & 7 Warm-up Exercises

Sequential stretches to activate and fatigue the calf, thigh, and pelvic muscle groups.

Step 02Stage 2: Tremor Induction on the Mat

Lying supine with soles together, allowing neurogenic tremors to travel up the psoas.

Step 03Stage 3: Self-Regulation & Rest

Consciously stopping the tremors, resting in stillness, and grounding.

Organizational Session Conditions:
  • •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.

Strict contraindications: when is a TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) session not performed?

To protect your psychological health and physical safety, a certified facilitator of TRE® for All (Dr. David Berceli) will decline deep session work in the following situations:

✕ Diagnosed schizophrenia or active psychosis
✕ Unstabilized bipolar disorder
✕ Under the influence of alcohol, recreational drugs, or heavy psychotropics
✕ Severe dissociative disorders

How to prepare for a session step-by-step?

1. Question List

Formulate 3 to 10 clear questions regarding your life path, relationships, emotional blocks, or career.

2. Body & Diet

Eat a light meal on the day of the session. Refrain from coffee and heavy stimulants to allow your nervous system to settle.

3. Openness & Grounding

Wear comfortable clothing. Keep your evening free after the session for quiet, undisturbed integration.

Methodological principles of TRE® for All (Dr. David Berceli)

The routine utilizes 7 progressive biomechanical exercises that gently stretch and fatigue the psoas and leg muscles.
Prioritizing client self-regulation – learning to pause and stop tremors on demand at any threshold.
Sessions must be facilitated exclusively by an authorized Certified TRE® Provider.

Red Flags: When to walk away?

For your safety and wellbeing, verify that the facilitator does not violate these ethical standards:

✕Charging commercial client fees under "Trainee" status or after only attending personal introductory workshops.
✕Facilitating professional sessions without official Certified TRE® Provider credentials.
✕Allowing autonomic emotional flooding without having interventions to slow or stop the tremor cascade.
✕Framing neurogenic tremors as occult phenomena while disregarding biological and stress physiology.

Questions to ask prior to booking

Key questions to address in your message to the facilitator before confirming an appointment:

?Do you hold active Certified TRE® Provider credentials authorized by TRE® for All / Dr. Berceli?
?How will you guide me to pause and stop tremors whenever intensity exceeds my comfort?
?Do you conduct a health screening regarding recent physical injuries and emotional stability?
