USA and Canada:

The USA and Canada have a two certification tracks.  Each certification track has two levels – Level I and Level II.

TRE Certified Facilitators are certified to safely teach TRE as a tension and stress reduction technique.

Most TRE Certified Practitioners will be integrating TRE into an already established health or mental health practice.

Level I Certification allows the TRE Practitioner or TRE Facilitator to teach TRE to individuals.

Level II Certification allows the TRE Facilitator or TRE Practitioner to teach TRE to groups of individuals.

For your safety and comfort you should only receive TRE guidance from these certified individuals. Please do not receive TRE guidance from anyone who is not listed on this web site. Although the activation of tremors by these exercises is easy to evoke, the ability to understand and safely guide the person through a successful completion of these exercises is more complex. The goal of providing you with certified TRE Practitioners and TRE Facilitators is to ensure you have a safe, pleasant and positive experience.

Trauma Releasing Exercises LLC (TRE) is dedicated to providing relief and recovery programs to survivors of large scale trauma due to natural disasters or human-made disasters. To provide recovery services to large scale populations due to mass trauma a new paradigm of recovery is needed. This recovery process must be easily learned, able to be self-applied without the aid of a therapist, must be applicable cross-culturally and can potentially have an immediate relaxation effect. TRE is a natural recovery process inherent in the human body that can be learned and repeated by anyone regardless of their culture or level of education.

Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) are designed to allow the individual to engage in their own therapeutic process with or without the aid of a therapist (some exceptions apply). These exercises are generally safe for most individuals (exceptions) and can be practiced by the individual alone, by members of support groups or within the family setting. They can have immediate relaxing effects which can be felt by the individual. These exercises are designed to elicit the natural recovery mechanisms of the human organism. The exercises evoke the natural neurogenic tremors experienced at the time of a traumatic event. These neurogenic tremors are part of an instinctual memory in the human animal. The body elicits them to discharge the high energetic charge created during the time of a traumatic experience. They are part of the genetic composition of the human organism. The basic principle of these exercises is that by evoking these natural tremoring reactions of the human body, humans like animals can “pass through the immobility or terror response of the trauma and become fully mobile and functional again” (Levine, P. 1997. Waking the Tiger). By reinforcing and harnessing these primordial and instinctual tremors instead of treating them as a pathology humans, like animals, can resolve the psychosomatic expressions of their trauma so that the human organism can be restored to its natural psychological and physical state of health.

Paradigm Shift. The human animal is designed to experience, endure, survive and evolve from traumatic episodes. If we did not possess this ability the human species would have become extinct shortly after it was born. This natural ability to let go of and resolve post traumatic reactions is genetically encoded in us to complete one process and begin something new as a part of our unending cycle of evolution. When a traumatic event occurs, the individual feels overwhelmed and the experience seems unbearable. However it is precisely because of this overwhelming experience that the individual is forced out of their old way of thinking into a new way of being in the universe. Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Mother Theresa, all experienced trauma and used their painful encounters to develop a more moral and ethical response to their traumatic circumstances. Their lives demonstrate to us that the trauma recovery process contains the possibility of helping the human person develop into a more moral and ethical species. If we can repeat this process for thousands or millions of people, we can use the transforming power inherent in the trauma recovery process to transform the ethical and moral foundations of humanity. The survivors of mass trauma may be the new species of the human person trying to be born. Mass trauma may be the process whereby the human species is evolving into a more loving, moral and evolved species. The trauma survivors of the third world may be the harbingers of a human morality necessary to temper the technology of the first world. These survivors may be evidence of the natural evolution of the human species from the Age of Technology to the Age of Wisdom.
