TRE®
Welcome to The Jewel Within, where we offer Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®) in both group and private sessions. TRE® comprises a series of straightforward yet groundbreaking exercises designed to facilitate the release of deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma. Whether you’re seeking relief from difficult living conditions, prolonged stress, or traumatic experiences, TRE® provides a path to releasing stored tension and restoring balance to the body and mind.
Tension and Trauma Release Exercises
TRE® consists of a series of simple but innovative exercises, which assist the body in releasing deep muscular patterns of stress, tension, and trauma.
Body’s Own Healing Process
Created by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, TRE® safely activates a natural reflex mechanism of shaking or vibrating that releases muscular tension, calming down the nervous system. When this muscular shaking/vibrating mechanism is activated in a safe and controlled environment, the body is encouraged to return to a state of balance.
The Benefits Of TRE®
TRE® helps to release stress or tension caused by difficult living conditions, acute or prolonged stressful situations, or traumatic experiences.
Do TRE® Exercises Work?
What Does Trauma Release Feel Like?
As you release trauma, you will feel like being more active. You will feel an increase in energy. This could make it easier to complete self-care and daily tasks as well as engage in social activities. You may feel like returning to work or seeing friends when you have been avoiding such activities.
Is TRE® Risk Free?
“Trauma creates change you don’t choose. Healing is about creating change you do choose.”
–Michelle Rosenthal
TRE® is a body based (somatic) process which, when done properly, through a Certified TRE Provider can allow the individual to discharge tension from the body, which often does not require “revisiting the story”. (ie: verbally describing or talking about the traumatic experience)
TRE® is designed to be a self-help tool that once learned, can be used as needed, throughout one’s life, thereby continuously supporting and promoting personal health and wholeness.
TRE® can be taught in very large groups for communities that have experienced mass trauma.
TRE® can cross culture and language barriers because it is based on natural physiological responses shared by all human beings.

Opt for stretchy, moisture-wicking fabrics like yoga pants, leggings, or shorts paired with a fitted top or a breathable tank top.

Additionally, consider layering to adjust to changes in temperature during your practice. Overall, choose clothing that allows you to move freely and comfortably while maintaining modesty and confidence.
