TRE @ TALLGRASS

TRE (Tension / Trauma Release Exercises) is the work of Dr. David Berceli and is a series of exercises that stimulate tremoring or shaking in the body (often starting the in the legs & hips). These "neurogenic tremors" help move built up stress & tension in the body and is different from talk therapy in that we don't need to tell a verbal story in order to process an experience or feel relief. There are many examples of wild animals who tremor as a way to discharge intense survival energy, and humans (another type of animal!) also have this built-in tool for managing stress. Humans we often override these impulses though (we feel the need to "keep it together," we don't want to look weird, etc.), so in a TRE session we are re-teaching & re-validating things that the body already knows how to do—but in a safe & therapeutic way.…
