Episode 30 – How TRE Helps with Addiction, Anxiety, and Trauma [Podcast]
Nuggets from this episode of the podcast
- TRE is concerned with the physiological mechanisms underpinning stress and trauma.
- TRE is a series of 7 simple exercises that fatigue our muscles and promote tremors so the body can release stress and tension.
- Clients can feel more relaxed, find it easier to sleep, and generally feel less anxious following a TRE session.
- TRE is a gradual process that is best practiced initially under the supervision of an experienced practitioner.
- Clients who are new to TRE need to avoid a ‘more is better’ attitude as this can lead to a situation of too much too soon.
