Want to know how to get your nervous system back into a state of relaxation and calm? TRE is a powerful, simple and effective way to release stress and tension from your body. My guest is the its creator, David Berceli. Both humans and animals alike are born with a biological stress response known as “fight or flight”. We are also born with a natural trembling capacity that enables us to discharge accumulated stress, something we have in common with other mammals. Unfortunately for human beings, once the ego develops, it typically overrules this natural mechanism to stop us being perceived as 'weak', meaning stress and tension is free to accumulate in our nervous system, which can lead to a host of physical and mental problems. TRE is a simple set of exercises that activates the body’s natural shaking or trembling mechanism – which helps to release deep muscular patterns of stress, tension and trauma.
