This section covers everything you need to begin and sustain a safe, effective TRE practice.

What you’ll learn

• How TRE was developed by Dr David Berceli in conflict zones, and the key principles that guide the practice
• What neurogenic tremors are, why animals shake after stress, and what tremoring feels like
• The science behind TRE: how the brainstem, central pattern generators, and myofascia work together
• How to prepare for practice, adapt for your body, and work with a sensitive nervous system
• The seven TRE exercises with modifications, from ankle stretches through the wall sit to the tremoring position
• Essential self-regulation skills: reading body signals, slowing and stopping tremors, and what to do if you freeze, flood, or dissociate
• What to do after practice, how to recognise signs that TRE is working, and how to build a sustainable habit
