TRE Completes Trauma Responses
- TRE helps complete the body's natural stress and trauma response through neurogenic tremoring.
- The process enables nervous system regulation, reducing PTSD and anxiety symptoms as supported by growing research.
Safe TRE Practice Guidelines
- Start TRE practice with no more than three 15-minute sessions per week during the first month.
- Adjust frequency and duration based on individual health, especially for chronic illness patients who may start with shorter, fewer sessions.
Starting the TRE Process
- Begin TRE by lying comfortably on the floor and performing a body scan to promote relaxation.
- Progress through the open butterfly position, bridge lifts, and incremental knee raises to safely initiate tremoring reflex.
