Introduction Letter to Trainees from Dr. David Berceli

Hello,

I am always glad when people write and say that TRE makes such a remarkable contribution to the healing of trauma. I have been working with this method for 20 years and appreciate your desire to spread this work while respecting its origins as coming from my own personal and professional efforts to help introduce a trauma recovery method to large populations.

Although this method is simple (which is one of its blessings) it is also very powerful and can lead people deeply into their past traumas as the body tries to release them through the tremors. For this reason I have established a training program that ensures that the person teaching TRE to individuals or groups is both competent and confident to provide them with a safe and effective experience of TRE. As someone who is choosing to teach TRE to others, it is important that you are prepared and capable of dealing with the personal issues that may surface when a person uses this technique.

Aside from the standard license agreement which satisfies the legalities necessary for TRE certification, there is also an agreement of participation in a consciousness shift that is also accruing with new modalities like TRE. This shift in consciousness is about finding the natural healing process in the body so that individuals can be self-empowered to heal and grow from within. For this reason the agreement also contains two points that invite the trainer into this growing shift of consciousness.

All traditional cultures recognize the importance of maintaining and respecting the consciousness of lineage. This seems to be an inherent universal concept. For that reason, I believe it is important to maintain a consciousness of the lineage of TRE. I ask you to participate in this consciousness by ensuring that any public display of TRE be credited with the copyright and trademark as stated in the agreement. Also, when giving workshops, no materials can be distributed that were not officially published by Dr. David Berceli who holds the material and intellectual copyrights for all materials depicting the TRE process.

I feel that by respecting these guidelines with honesty and integrity, we are joining together not only in our individual efforts at healing trauma but also in our collective efforts to do so. When I give workshops or go to developing nations, I am always conscious of the thousands of people around the world who are already doing TRE. The vibrational change that occurs in the body as a result of these tremors not only leads the individual to a healthy state of peace and calmness but it also increases our connection to our collective humanity which is also struggling to find its own peace and calmness within. Thank you for participating in this global healing process.

In respectful gratitude,

Dr. David Berceli
