This workshop is being offered to the community FREE with full Lottery Funding subsidy. Aimed at people with caring responsibilities (parents, carers, community workers and more).

Spaces limited to up to 8 people.

What is TRE?

TRE uses seven exercises to release tension held in the muscles, connective tissue and to regain the adaptable responses of the body. We focus  on the psoas muscle, a large, deep and not easy to access muscle in the body, which plays a part in our trauma response to physical, emotional, and mental stresses encountered in life.

We have all experienced stressors that create a trauma response, in many forms, and we can learn how to release these slowly, gradually and safely to regain balance and experience more peace in our bodies and minds.

How does TRE work?

The exercises are simple and gentle stretches, easy to learn. We stretch different muscle groups especially in the lower body to tire them and to induce a natural muscular tremor or shaking process.

What can you expect in your TRE session?

We engage in stretches and breathing which connect you to rest and move your body safely, within your own comfort zone. We end the session with up to 15 minutes of alternating tremoring and resting. Typically people experience shaking in their first session – in lower parts of the body such as legs, thighs, hips up to the abdomen.

With regular practice of TRE people may find the muscles and connective tissue of the whole body releases constrictions, slowly and gradually, from toes to head, including areas where one has experiences past injuries. Experiences are mostly physical, but may also release an emotional, mental, or energetic component.

What are the benefits of TRE?

Many find the benefits from the first session, to include:

• Better sleep/rest/relaxation
• Less stress/anxiety
• More peace/resilience
• Less aches/pains in body
• Better awareness of body/better capacity to care for body.
• Increased ability to self-care and self-regulate.

Not recommended for people who are:

• Pregnant
• Epileptic
• Untreated high blood pressure
• Surgery/injury recently.
• Acute high level of trauma with no support networks, as additional 1-1 or ongoing group support and resourcing is important for this level of healing process.
