Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®)
A gentle, body-based practice to help you feel safe, grounded, and at ease.
TRE® is a simple yet powerful somatic technique—backed by science—that helps your body naturally release stress, anxiety, and deep-held tension. Through a gentle seven-step process, TRE® activates your body’s innate ability to tremor, unwind, and discharge stored survival energy. This is the same restorative mechanism our nervous systems are born with, but often lose after prolonged stress or trauma. TRE® works directly with the body (not the thinking mind), making it incredibly effective for reducing:
• anxiety and panic
• chronic pain
• insomnia and restlessness
• agitation and irritability
• fatigue and burnout
• dissociation and emotional numbness
• symptoms of chronic stress, PTSD, and long-term illness
As the body begins to release tension, many people experience improved sleep, brighter mood, better focus, and a renewed sense of safety, connection, and resilience. One of the most beautiful aspects of TRE® is that it requires very little talking—your body leads the process.
A Direct Path Back to Regulation
Stress doesn’t live in the mind—it lives in the body. TRE® gently guides your nervous system out of fight, flight, freeze, fawn, or overwhelm and back into your natural state of rest, balance, and grounded presence. Many clients feel relief after just one session.

what you have to look forward to:
“Prior, when my body was experiencing muscle weakness or spasms related to Lyme disease, I had no tools to relieve this and it caused a great deal of anguish and anxiety. Now, I know I can use TRE to help alleviate these symptoms, and I do frequently. Had it not been for this practice, I would still be suffering through painful flare ups without relief. ”
“TRE saved my sleep! After years of medication to treat insomnia and becoming more and more resistant to psychiatric drugs, TRE gave me my sleep back. Results were immediate. I never imagined such profound outcomes coming from such a gentle, drug free approach. ”
“The biggest notice after one session of TRE was a relief in tension in my back pain that is pretty chronic. It felt equivalent to an hour with a physical therapist. I’m curious to see how that progresses as I practice TRE.
”
“One of the first things I noticed after my TRE sessions was the ability for a little more chest/breathing space. It also helped me calm my mind as I’m very used to thinking of several things at once and also have to be intentional about quieting my thoughts when I get overwhelmed from family/work/caregiving responsibilities.”
“TRE is the missing piece to managing my anxiety. I was already doing all the things - eating well and exercising and I still had chronic stress in my body. TRE changed that. ”
“I figured if TRE can work for traumatized veterans I knew it could work for me. And, it did. It actually works.”
“After TRE, my mood was noticeably improved and my body felt immediately relieved of my chronic Lyme illness symptoms. Having a go-to physical release of discomfort, pain, and overwhelm is beyond comforting and has made a significant impact on my physical well-being. ”
“After the session I talked about it with friends. I want to experiment with my own practice more because I was so surprised by it.”
“TRE is so empowering. It was the first “treatment” I encountered that really showed me that the body knows how to regulate itself and naturally release anxiety and depression.”
“TRE is amazing! It greatly reduced my anxiety and depression symptoms. The practice is easy and I can do it at anytime on my own! I feel way more resilient when facing stress! ”
“Allowing my body to experience trembling in a controlled environment was empowering and helpful. I started the practice off feeling tension throughout my body, and after the practice was over, I felt a great deal of release. ”
“Neely was a calming presence and made each of us feel safe. She made sure she was attending to each of our individual needs. Because the exercises affected all of us differently, Neely effortlessly and kindly attended to each of us and walked us through our varying reactions with curiosity and openness. ”
“I truly love having Neely as my instructor because she knows how to set the pace for everyone and just allows things to happen and allows the space for sharing. She knows when to check in and is an excellent nurturing and compassionate guide throughout each exercise. ”
