TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) in Cape Town
Let the body shake it out.
No agenda. No charge. No commitment.
What it is
TRE is a sequence of seven simple exercises, mostly stretches done lying on a mat, that invite the body to tremor. The shaking is neurogenic: a natural mechanism your nervous system already knows how to do, which chronic stress and the effort of holding it together can switch off. The tremor releases held tension from deep muscle groups that talk therapy and journalling can struggle to reach. You don't guide it; you let it happen. Many people notice something shift within twenty quiet minutes.
What a session includes

A note on the evidence
The research in this site focuses on EFT. TRE and Qigong have a smaller evidence base, and I don't claim otherwise. See a fair look at the research →
