Release Stress & Tension with TRE®

A gentle practice to help release stress, ease tension and support nervous system regulation.

This small-group workshop is a gentle introduction to TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises®). You’ll be guided through the exercises and explore your body’s natural tremor response at a comfortable pace, with an emphasis on choice, self-regulation and feeling in control.

About this workshop

Workshop poster: Release Stress & Tension with TRE®, Friday 18 September 7–9pm, Paddock Wood, Kent, £40, suitable for beginners

This small-group workshop introduces TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises®) in a gentle, safe and supportive way, helping you learn a simple practice that you can continue at home with confidence.

TRE® works with the body's natural tremor response—an innate reflex that can help release patterns of stress and muscular tension while supporting nervous system regulation.

This workshop isn't about pushing, reliving difficult experiences or "going deep". It's about learning to listen to your body, regulate the intensity of your experience, and remain within your own comfort zone. Everything is an invitation, and you can pause, rest or stop at any time.

You’ll learn how to start, slow, pause and stop the tremors, giving you the foundations to continue practising TRE® safely at home.

During the workshop you’ll…

  • Learn what TRE® is and how it works
  • Be guided through the TRE® exercises at a comfortable pace
  • Explore the tremor response with an emphasis on choice, pacing and self-regulation
  • Learn how to practise TRE® safely and responsibly at home
  • Have time for questions and optional discussion
  • Finish with grounding practices so you leave feeling present and settled

Is this workshop for you?

This workshop may be helpful if you:

  • Feel stressed, tense or overwhelmed
  • Live with persistent pain or long-held muscular tension
  • Find it difficult to switch off or fully relax
  • Are curious about a body-based approach to nervous system regulation
  • Would like to learn a gentle self-care practice to continue at home

No previous experience is needed. You don't need to be flexible, fit or "good at relaxing".

Important information

This is an introductory educational workshop and is not a therapy session.

Group TRE® is not suitable for everyone. If you have severe trauma, PTSD/CPTSD, significant dissociation, or difficulties with self-regulation, I recommend arranging a 1:1 consultation before joining a group workshop.

TRE® is also not suitable during pregnancy or immediately following recent surgery or injury.

If you're unsure whether this workshop is right for you, please get in touch before booking.

After the workshop

You'll leave with a solid foundation to begin practising TRE® gently at home.

Some people feel confident to continue independently, while others choose to book individual sessions for personalised guidance and support. That option is always available, with no pressure.
