In the following article Michele Rosenthal writes about how trauma affects the brain and how activating the parasympathetic nervous system shifts the body into restorative mode.
The Science Behind PTSD Symptoms: How Trauma Changes The Brain
TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises) is one of the most wonderful modalities I have come across and it enables the body to shift into a restorative mode. Please come and join me on my next 6 week course and learn how to use it by yourself at home.
6 WEEK TRE GROUP COURSE STARTING ON TUESDAY 19 JANUARY IN CLAREMONT
We are all affected by stress and trauma – it is part of life.
Designed by David Berceli, TRE is a simple technique that helps your body release stress or tension that has accumulated from day-to-day life experiences, immediate or ongoing stressful situations, and traumatic life events. A set of simple exercises invokes a mild tremor which helps bring the nervous system back to a state of calm and balance. Once learned TRE is a gentle and effective self-healing tool.
Some of the reported benefits of TRE include:
- Greater sense of calm and inner peace
- Less anxiety and worry
- Reduced pain
- Improved sleep quality
- Reduced symptoms of PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Increased emotional resilience
- Healing of old injuries
- Relief from chronic medical conditions
- Release of muscular tension from exercise and sport
- Increased mobility and flexibility
- Increased spiritual connection
