Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE™) reflects a new understanding of the natural healing processes of the human body. This body-based method evokes a natural reflex pattern held in the mind’s procedural memory for recovery. Stress, tension, and trauma are natural experiences in life. As a result, our bodies contain amazing healing mechanisms and patterns that have been overlooked by traditional medicine. These mechanisms can be easily evoked and used as self-help restorative processes for anyone trying to resolve old tensions and traumas from physical and/or psycho-emotional injuries. 

David Berceli spent years living and working in situations of war and natural disasters. This experience enabled him to recognize patterns in the human body that have often gone unnoticed. For him, these patterns revealed the basic nature of the human person. Berceli developed a neuro-physiological method of trauma recovery that is available to every human being. This approach is so pure that it can be taught to large populations and is therefore ideal for survivors of natural disasters, tragedies, social violence, and war. 

In uncomplicated terminology, participants will learn about the neuro-physiology of trauma. Each day, theory and practice will be intertwined in a manner that helps the participant understand and explore their personal body histories. This self-directed method allows the individual to control their own recovery process, allowing it to progress in a safe, healthy, and integrating manner.

This course will be useful for health professionals in their practice of body-based, self-help techniques for themselves and their clients. It will also increase the understanding of the neuro-physiological responses and resolutions to stress and tension as well as their psycho-emotional counterparts.
