TRE® Somatic

TRE® Somatic Session 

(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.
