TRE is a somatic therapy, non-talk therapy method that activates the body's natural tremoring/shaking mechanism to release deep tension and stress without necessarily revisiting the trauma story. A set of 7 exercises helps safely activate your body’s natural tremor mechanism to discharge stress, tension, and trauma held in the muscles and nervous system.
These tension & trauma releasing exercises help people dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, PTSD symptoms, physical tightness, burnout, those seeking resilience and better self-regulation. If you're wondering ‘how to cope with burnout’ or ‘how do I self regulate’, TRE offers a gentle, body-led approach that supports your nervous system naturally.
If you're looking for a TRE practitioner in Maidstone, I offer a safe, supportive space to explore this powerful practice.
Hello and welcome to reconnectrestore, where I specialise in offering you a safe space to learn Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE™). As a certified TRE practitioner supporting clients in Maidstone, I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to healing through the body.
My career journey into mental health began over eighteen years ago, and for the last 8 years I have been privileged enough to work with those recovering from addiction, which can be due to many adverse childhood experiences or traumatic life events. As a trauma survivor myself (healing through multiple disciplines), it was at this time I recognised that, whilst talking therapies offered clients a safe space to explore themselves, support was lacking for the alleviation of their bodily trauma symptoms.
So, I began researching alternative ways to help clients heal from their internally held traumas. After much research, I completed an eighteen-month course in TRE, offered three groups a week at a rehab facility in Kent and supported more complex residents with one-to-one sessions. Recently I received funding from Involve and was able to offer 3 months of free weekly community groups. Through this work, I have seen first-hand how somatic therapy and tension & trauma releasing exercises can help people reconnect with their bodies and build resilience.
I also work as a Social and Therapeutic Horticulturalist at the residential rehab facility in Kent, managing a team who facilitate creative workshops (pottery, art, woodwork) as part of the 12-week programme. I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, with many trauma-related outcomes, supported by psychotherapists in my role, where we have a person-centred, trauma-informed approach.
We take things at your pace, discovering what is comfortable for you and your body. Much importance is placed on feeling safe and on supporting you in making your own decisions about how the session progresses. There is no need to retell trauma stories. TRE is a way of releasing trauma without accessing memories, and having a ‘flashback’ is rare.
If this sounds intriguing, please get in touch for an exploratory chat. Whether you're based in Maidstone or elsewhere in Kent and are looking for an experienced TRE practitioner, I'd be happy to answer any questions you may have.
