The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process: Transcend Your Toughest Times
by David Berceli
View on GoodreadsAnimals shake after a stressful event, and young children tremble the same way until socialization suppresses it. David Berceli's argument is that your body still holds that response, and that TRE, the Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises he developed, can reactivate it to release stored tension.
Core ideas
- Held in the body: Stress, anxiety and trauma affect physical health as well as mental health, and in this account their tension stays stored in the body.
- Leg work, then tremors: The exercises are stretches that work the leg muscles until involuntary tremors begin in the lower body.
- No talking required: You don't have to talk through the trauma, and the book presents the method as usable without equipment or ongoing professional help.
