Tension and Trauma Release Exercises

TRE is a profound self-help process that activates the body’s innate tremor mechanism, enabling a gentle release of chronic tension, stress or trauma (including PTSD) and helping regulate the nervous system to a calmer, balanced state.

In a safe, controlled way you will learn to self-regulate your experience.  TRE does not require talking about, or recalling past events.  Once learnt, TRE is your valuable, free, and easily accessible way to release the accumulated stresses of daily life and unresolved trauma on an on-going basis.

Somatic Experiencing® (SE)

SE develops and utilises the awareness of sensations in the body to help people re-negotiate and alleviate the physical, emotional and physiological effects of PTSD and other stress and trauma-related health problems – without re-living the event.

While gently guiding and pacing the process so you can safely assimilate the changes within your nervous system without overwhelm, SE can help restore a sense of aliveness, relaxation and wholeness in the aftermath of trauma or after periods of chronic stress.

Presenters

Wendy Leitmanis, TRE Level 1 Trainer, and Cindy Jacobs of Free Rein Australia share their collective expertise and these approaches to healing trauma.  Wendy and Cindy offer individual sessions of TRE and SE respectively, and will be combining their expertise to offer 6-week programs (1 x 2-hour session each consecutive week).
