TRE® Somatic
(Tension & Trauma Release Exercises)

Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) is a body-based practice designed to support the release of physical tension and to encourage nervous system regulation.

​

At Anahata Holistic Wellness in Parkhurst, TRE® sessions offer a gentle, supported environment where you can explore your body's natural capacity to release tension and settle.

​

What is TRE®?

TRE® stands for Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises.

​

The practice uses a series of simple physical exercises designed to fatigue the muscles and activate a natural tremoring response gently.

​

Once the tremoring begins, you are guided to allow your body to release at its own pace.

​

TRE® is not about forcing a release. It is about learning to listen to your body and developing awareness of your own responses.

​

How can TRE® support you?

People seek TRE® for many different reasons, including:

• Physical tension and muscular holding

• Everyday stress and overwhelm

• Difficulty relaxing or switching off

• Feeling disconnected from the body

• Supporting nervous-system regulation

• A desire for a body-based approach to wellbeing

• Supporting relaxation and deeper rest

​

Everyone responds differently and TRE® is not intended to diagnose or treat medical or psychological conditions.

​

What happens during a TRE® session?

Your session begins with simple exercises designed to prepare the body.

You will then lie comfortably on a mat while the natural tremoring response is allowed to develop.

​

Throughout the session, you remain in control. You can slow down, pause or stop whenever you need to.

​

The emphasis is on safety, awareness and developing a relationship with your body's signals.
