Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises Training
Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises or TRE® - is a simple yet powerful process that can release even deep-seated trauma, as well as stress, anxiety and tension. So that you can confidently deliver the safe and effective TRE process to others, our one-year certified training programme covers:
-
Study of anatomy and neurophysiology in TRE;
-
Study of the physiology of stress and trauma: activation and dissociation;
-
Development of skills for creating safety and a safe field of relationships;
-
Interventions to help activate the tremor, spread it throughout the body, or slow and stop the tremor when it is too intense;
-
Grounding and orientation skills to help people stay in their bodies, develop body awareness and feel comfortable;
-
Skills to teach people self-regulation - to induce relaxation to balance the stress response when experiences are too intense;
-
Containment and containment skills to help people express images, sensations, feelings, memories and other side effects of trauma in manageable amounts without being overwhelmed or inundated with experiences;
-
The skills to competently deliver TRE in individual sessions for trauma, anxiety and pain, or as a simple self-help practice for tension;
-
Skills to competently teach TRE in groups or to communities that have experienced mass trauma;
-
Personal transformation of you as a professional.
Personal transformation
The training involves a shift in consciousness, which means seeking the body's natural healing process. TRE is for physical experience, not for analysis or interpretation by the mind. The goal of TRE is to allow the body's wisdom to guide the experience. This needs to be felt and understood from your own TRE experience so that you can successfully communicate it to others.
We will prepare you to guide people through the TRE process, which includes learning to ground yourself. As a person who has decided to teach others TRE, it is important that you are prepared and able to deal with the personal issues that may come up when guiding people through the process. You need to be fully present in the present moment, comfortable and aware of your physical sensations and emotions in order to create a safe space for clients.
About TRE® for
-
Usually, people who are overwhelmed by emotions and have high nervous system activation or dissociation are not able to go deeply into the psychotherapeutic process. TRE is able to gently release anxiety and restore connection with oneself. Some psychotherapists and psychologists call TRE the "missing piece". TRE provides you with an effective somatic practice for working with people recovering from chronic stress, anxiety, or trauma.
- - TRE® is a valuable somatic practice to support your clients' therapy process. Most of them will be able to use TRE® on their own to support the work they are doing with you.
- - TRE® is a holistic approach to healing that engages the body, mind and emotions.
- - TRE can reduce the client's need to "tell the story".
- - TRE® has become a highly valued complementary practice to traditional talking therapies because it supports healing at the deepest levels of physiology where traumatic reactions originate.
- - TRE allows clients to understand that their reactions to stress are normal and helps them to cope with stress.
- - TRE can help you develop your own grounding and reduce burnout from working with clients. TRE teaches you to manage your own resources and energy more effectively.
-
TRE® for teachers of yoga and somatic practices
This programme is the perfect complement for yoga instructors and other bodywork practitioners who wish to incorporate deep tension and trauma work into their classes. TRE provides important knowledge and understanding of the nervous system and trauma recovery for your work with individual clients and groups.- - TRE allows you to combine physical and breathing exercises with the body's natural response to tremors.
- - TRE helps to relax the lumbar and abdominal muscles.
- - TRE releases physical and emotional stress and tension.
- - TRE teaches clients to be more skilful in regulating the load so that they do not go into dissociation and activation, and it promotes greater presence in the body during exercise or meditation.
- - In addition, TRE can be used as a complement to one's own self-regulation and stress relief.
-
TRE® for body therapists: Biodynamics, CST, osteopathy
If emotional experiences come up during your sessions, TRE will enable you to guide clients through the experience in a way that is appropriate for them, so that they don't close down and go too deeply into the experience. Living the experience properly will allow them to not hold it in their body as tension. This method will also help you develop a deeper understanding of the interaction between the body and the nervous system, which can enhance your skills as a therapist.- - Using TRE will allow you to deepen your knowledge and skills in working with the tremor response, using it as an effective therapeutic component of your work with clients.
- - TRE supports emotional healing without the need to engage in "talk therapy".
- - TRE allows for positive and permanent changes to be made to ingrained patterns that perpetuate tension.
- - With TRE, therapists can address the physical level of stress and trauma that is stored in the client's body.
- - TRE helps to relieve muscle hypertonicity and increase the level of responsibility for one's body and well-being.
- - TRE can also be used as an adjunctive tool in the treatment of depression and anxiety, helping to reduce physical and emotional symptoms.
-
TRE® for yourself and your loved ones
You can also train and become certified if you are not a mental health or medical professional. Our training will help you to competently and safely teach TRE to friends, family members, colleagues and/or clients.- Certified providers can include mothers, community organisers working with homeless and at-risk youth, as well as firefighters, rescue workers, military personnel and volunteers.

It's been almost a year since TRE entered my life as a surprisingly simple and effective method of maintaining contact with my body, relieving psycho-emotional stress and stabilising myself. It is also one of those extremely valuable tools that I use in therapy to help people overcome the effects of trauma in the form of anxiety, pain, and dissociation. I am proud to be one of the first certified TRE specialists in Ukraine and believe that we are incredibly lucky to learn from the best 🙏❤️🤗

I got acquainted with TRE° in April last year. This innovative technique helped me to recover from the occupation. I remember very clearly how I felt at the first session. After doing simple exercises that trigger the natural trembling mechanism, I felt much better. My muscle tension decreased; my anxiety level decreased; my emotional state balanced; my sleep and mood improved; and my body felt more comfortable. I have been trained as a TRE provider. Now it is my main tool for self-regulation. I also teach CBT in groups and individually. I am sincerely grateful to Maksym Usoltsev for organising the training and support

Thank you very much for the training in the TRE method! It was a very intense and deep training, where we learned to release stress from the body, relax and feel in the moment here and now. This training has helped me to be more resilient, effective and provide fast and high-quality assistance in critical situations when working with my patients. All information was provided at a high professional and accessible level! Many thanks to the organiser Maxim Usoltsev and the lecturers for their work and the transfer of knowledge and support later in the process роботи❤️

A beautiful inspiring system that provides powerful support to everyone. The natural tremor mechanism releases emotional tension that we can carry in our bodies for decades. This is exactly what happened to me. At the beginning, it was scary to be alone in the room during a workout, such powerful emotions were released - something that had been hiding in me for a long time. Over time, I learned to go through this process more gradually, not so intensely. And now I really enjoy TRE classes, for today it is an effective tool for me to release the effects of stress reactions, both recent and those that occurred many years ago, and to restore contact with my body. The inspiration of this system is that liberation is POSSIBLE, and my experience shows that it is. I am gradually sharing this with people.

Halyna Morozova
TRE training
All my life, after stressful events, I was shaking, tingling, unable to stop it, and often frightened myself and frightened my loved ones. Learning the TRE method was breathtakingly beautiful - finally someone explained to me in a very simple and precise way what exactly my body does when I am "pounding" and that this reaction of the nervous system is normal. When you understand what's going on, when you train yourself to do it consciously, new horizons of working with the body open up. Then I started telling people about this method, conducting individual and group classes for them, and I became convinced that this is exactly what we need here and now.

In today's conditions, TRE has proven to be the most effective tool for self-regulation and "normalisation" of oneself in the face of constant stress. 7 exercises, 15 minutes of practice, and I can move on with a sense of ease, calmness and resource

Olga Tsymbal
TRE training
Learning the Trauma Realising Exercises (TRE®) method at the Biodynamic Health Institute was the beginning of a new stage in my life. The method rewired my trapped body. It used to tremble as if it were in prison. And the method helped to gently release it from accumulated tension, blocks, and pain. The psyche also "exhaled" and began to learn to digest stress. The training with mentor Steve Gaines was easy, but it touched on the very depths of human mechanics, physiology, nervous system, and psyche. It also touched on the structure of injuries and stresses and their impact on the human system. The training also gave me a very valuable tool - self-help in difficult conditions and situations. This is especially important now! For all its apparent simplicity, TRE® allows us to solve the deepest and most complex problems of our psychophysiology in a gentle and effective way.

I was trained in Trauma Release Exercises. TRE is a very easy to learn technique that really works. It is an effective method of self-help, which personally helps me a lot. I feel that my stress resistance has increased, I recover more easily from difficult periods and have more resources. It's a great tool to help yourself and others. The course has very experienced teachers, and the introduction through the curriculum provides a fundamental understanding of the processes taking place in the body, the specifics of use and important nuances for both personal practice and individual and group work with other people.
