Tension/Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®️) (self-regulation) with Mike Thomas

TRE®️is a somatic therapeutic modality that utilizes the “neurogenic tremor mechanism” to shake off excess stored stress/tension/trauma energy from bodily tissues. Several gentle movements warm up the body, ground the feet, and establish a state of nervous system relaxation and safety. The release of oxytocin in the body during TRE approximates the experience of mother-infant bonding. It is soothing, energizing, and expands somatic awareness and capacity to feel. Unconscious, autonomic nervous system patterns are integrated and optimized through allowing the body to release what is no longer needed at an individual pace. This can be considered a “bottom-up” regulation experience, supporting the capacity to learn, grow, heal, and allow your body more choice and intentionality through releasing unconscious blocks to your greatest expression of self. TRE®️goes hand-in-hand with deep inner-child work to support integrating unresolved inner conflicts that get in the way of aligning conscious will and unconscious survival mechanisms of the primal level of self.
