🙏TRE & me
I’ve not been very present online for the last 12 months as I’ve been on a journey with TRE® (Tension & Trauma release exercises)
I was excited to start the 12 month provider course in October 2024 but I never realised how much of an effect this work would have on me and how it would set me on a whole new path of deep healing.
At the end of 2024 my mind was so full and overflowing I felt powerless and fearful. Having suffered with anxiety since a young age I noticed the warning signs that It was becoming unmanageable & unpredictable.
TRE® has made me realise that my body has been in dissociation & numbed out for years. It has been holding onto key early childhood experiences that were unconscious to me but still effecting me in my adult life, unbeknown to me.
The anxiety, terror & hyper vigilance I’ve held since I was 4 years old has now dissipated, when in my adult life it was masquerading as day to day triggers around social situations, the news, random things that my body was over reacting too with every emotion.
The chronic pain I have in my lower back shoulder & legs is slowly releasing. And my resilience to be able to manage life is back and I’m happy to say growing. 🪴and so is my ability to see the good, feel connection with people and be joyful 🌺
My healing hasn’t been linear. It’s taken time, giving myself space to feel and process my traumatic experiences which was very hard at times, establishing safety within my body and giving myself self compassion & learning self regulation. To go slow with it.
