I’m not a mental health or a medical health care professional. What value does the TRE® Certification hold for me?

 Over the years we have certified many people from all walks of life, who wanted to be able to competently and safely teach TRE to friends, family, co-workers and/or clients. Amongst those certified are; mothers, community organizers who work with the homeless and high risk teens programs as well as firefighters, disasters workers and volunteers.  

 The TRE Certification Training program is designed to prepare you to teach TRE competently and safely as a stress relieving technique.

I am a Life Coach, will TRE® Certification be useful for me?

 Many in the Life Coaching fields are finding TRE  to be a most useful tool to offer their clients.   Through the certification process you will learn how to competently and safely offer this self-help technique to others.   TRE is appreciated and valued by people across the spectrum of society from the homeless to the corporate executive.  

Why can’t I start teaching TRE® after reading the book or going to one of the trainings?

  1. Dr. Berceli holds the copyright and the trademarks on all things having to do with TRE.  To teach TRE without certification means you are committing a legal violation of trademark and copyright.
  2. To teach TRE without full certification means you are committing malpractice as you do not have the skills, knowledge and experience to lead another competency and safely through the TRE process.     

If you sell the books and DVD’s so people can learn on their own, why can’t I start teaching TRE® to others?

If a person buys the books and/or the DVD and begins to experiment with TRE on their own they will most likely stop if they begin to feel uncomfortable - emotionally and/or physically.  However, if another person is present,  the dynamics change:  now there is a “teacher” and a “student”.  

 The “student” (even if they are friend or family member) will allow the “teacher” to give them information and/or guidance.  Often the student will assume the teacher has more knowledge and can provide guidance.  If the one presenting as “teacher” doesn’t have all the competencies of a Certified TRE Provider then they are not qualified to be teaching others.   

Do I get any other benefits along with my certification?

 Once certified you will receive several benefits:

  1. You will be eligible to list yourself on the TRE website Provider Map.  Our website is visited by many thousands of people every month!  With TRE’s growing reputation this is a great resource.   
  2. You will also have access to articles and video’s that support your continued growth in working with stress and trauma recovery.  
  3. You will be qualified to continue on with TRE Advance Practice workshops that will greatly increase your TRE skills and knowledge.  
  4. You will be a part of an ever growing TRE provider network that support each other and share knowledge through Facebook and other social media networks.
