TRE is an innovative approach to help people release patterns of deep muscular tension that are caused by everyday life demands, immediate or prolonged stress, or traumatic life experiences. TRE evolved out of a growing body of research that connects the impact of stress and trauma on the mind and the body. Using a set of simple and easy to learn exercises, TRE accesses and releases stored tension in the muscles, which then sends a message of safety and relaxation to nervous system and the brain. As it is a body-based release that slowly unwinds holding patterns from the core of the body outward, there is little emotional or cognitive processing that would re-trigger uncomfortable or stressful memories.

The power of TRE lies in its ability to help people tap into the body's built in response to move out of tension and chronic stress states. TRE has immediate benefits and is a tool that can be practiced at home on your own, one-on-one with a provider or in groups, for as little as a few minutes time. It is used by many as a method of daily self care, with lifelong benefits. It complements traditional mental health and physical healing modalities, and has helped thousands across the globe in hundreds of counties to move out of chronic states of stress and trauma, and into a new relationship with life.
