Pulsation is part of life:. It is observable in 'simple' one-celled organisms, like the amoeba, as well as all the more complex, multicellular forms of life, including humans.
A quote from David Berceli mentions pulsation in relation to the TRE method :
“I try to get people to accept we are a living pulsating organism, like animals, we pulsate with aliveness, & all of those contractions inhibit those pulsations, this pulsation, the more we can enliven it, the more our sensory receptors are stimulated towards aliveness….it means aliveness in every emotional state, it also means heartbreak & sadness, but if it has more capacity to pulsate it allows us negotiate these experiences without dissociating or numbing down”

Flashback to when our Trauma and Tension Releasing Exercises (TRE) courses were in the Metro!

Over two million people have tried TRE in the last 15-20 years. Some people with incredibly complex developmental trauma, many people who have been in war zones, or who have been attacked. We’re confident that it’s a tool that can be used even with complex and difficult needs.

For many people, not having to talk about their trauma, being relatively anonymous in a group setting and doing something that’s purely about finding agency and strength in your body is key to working with trauma in a positive and generative way.

TRE is a set of seven exercises created by Dr David Bercelli that set up a natural shaking reflex. Shaking is an old, ancient reflex in our nervous system. When the shaking happens it releases tension from the body and generates new signals of joy and connection.

David Bercelli has an amazing line: “You don’t need to understand and you don’t need to remember”.

When a dog shakes after a thunderstorm or fireworks, it is releasing all the adrenalin, and muscle tension that was part of the fear response, in a natural, spontaneous way.

Humans have the same response, and when we cultivate it, shaking leads our body to let go of old patterns that are stuck in our physiology. It helps us find connection, wake things up that have been hidden inside us, and supports us let go of protective patterns that we don’t need anymore.

The essence of TRE is shaking to release tension, and shaking to wake our body up. In our trainings, I’ll teach you a simple ritual set of ritual exercises, and guide you to starts a natural, involuntary shaking reflex. I’ll teach you how to turn on the shaking and how to turn it off the shaking.

Some meaningful comments from a client that attended a small TRE group workshop a few months ago:
After leaving the class I stopped and walked through the wildflowers. They were so beautiful and it was the perfect finish to the practice. I was overwhelmed and awestruck by the beauty of nature. I felt almost euphoric, like I had experienced a release and a weight had been lifted
The next day I felt a sense of ease and lightness, again like a weight had been lifted.
Overall an unexpected and interesting experience.
I feel like it could be a tool to making that mind body connection and being more in tune with my body.

During any stressful event the nervous system becomes activated, and our body moves into a ‘flight/fight’ response. Among the many changes that occur are the release of stress hormones (such as adrenaline, cortisol), increased heart and breathing rates, and increased muscle tension.
Together with this very important mechanism which helps to protect us and escape from danger, our bodies also have an innate, built-in system to down-regulate an activated nervous system. This is where tremoring/shaking fits into the picture. It is the Emergency Exit door that enables our system to release the built-up muscle tension and return us to a state of calmness.
TRE® is a modality that engages this tremor mechanism in a controlled and regulated way, and it is useful to manage the stress and tension that we face on a daily basis in our everyday lives.
In Kimberley BC, I offer in-person, one-on-one and small group sessions.
