Intro: Shaking Is Our Nature
In nature, animals instinctively shake after stress to restore balance. Humans are born with the same innate ability, yet many of us have learned to suppress it. TRE® (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), developed by Dr. David Berceli, gently reawakens this natural tremor response — inviting the body to release what it no longer needs to hold.

These subtle, neurogenic tremors unwind layers of stored muscular tension, helping the nervous system shift out of stress patterns and return to balance. With practice, many find that TRE® not only softens the body but also nurtures emotional resilience, steadier sleep, and a deepened sense of safety within.

How We Practice Together
TRE® begins with simple, accessible movements designed to gently activate the body’s natural tremor reflex. You remain in control at all times — the tremors can be paused or stopped whenever you choose.
Together, we’ll explore:

• Gentle exercises to safely invite tremors into the body

• Awareness practices to notice and honor subtle shifts

• Techniques for grounding and self-regulation, so the process feels steady and supportive

• Guidance for integrating TRE® into daily life as a tool for ongoing resilience

Benefits You May Notice
While every body responds differently, many experience TRE® as a quiet reset — a way of remembering what it feels like to be at ease in your own skin.

• Release of deep muscular tension and patterns of holding

• Relief from stress, anxiety, or overwhelm

• Improved sleep and restfulness

• A calmer, more resilient nervous system

• Greater body awareness and connection to self
