Introduction to Trauma Release Workshop 
with Meg Gorosh 
Saturday: March 26th - 1:30pm

Stressed out. Anxious. Overwhelmed. Exhausted.

These words are all too common adjectives to describe how we feel on a daily basis. Life is stressful, but that reality doesn’t have to control you.

Did you know that the power to heal is within you? While traditional western medicine focuses on diagnosing symptoms and treating you from the outside, the practice of TRE®, or tension and trauma releasing exercises, focuses on healing through your inherent and internal stress release mechanism, a therapeutic shaking, or tremor.

In this three hour workshop, you will learn about stress physiology, nervous system health, and how to recognize feelings of safety and comfort versus feelings of danger and discomfort, and how to self soothe your nervous system to create healing from the inside out, so that you can experience your therapeutic tremor as authentically as possible.

The practice of TRE® involves a set of 7 gentle and adaptable movement sequences that can be modified to support every body type and ability, to elicit your intentional and self controlled muscular tremor,from deep within the core of the body. Similar to the way animals shake off stress, this tremor reflex seeks out and gently vibrates open deeply held patterns of tension in the muscle tissue and fascia of the body, while naturally quieting and re-regulating the nervous system. The tremor originates in the brain-stem, the part of the brain that regulates autonomic body functions, and does not involve the emotional or thinking brain, so even historic patterns of trauma and stress can be safely and gently released without re-triggering painful memories. Essentially TRE® allows the body to do this processing for us.

Whether you are working with the challenges of post traumatic stress, chronic tension, or just trying to keep your head above water in a busy and chaotic world, TRE® has something to offer you. The intention of this workshop is to introduce you to the practice of TRE®. It is not recommended to begin a self directed practice after one session. If interested, Elan Wellness offers sessions of both an individual and group nature.

*This workshop is intended to empower participants in a self directed practice of TRE, and is not education on teaching this practice to others*

TRE® is a safe and effective stress release technique for most people. The TRE process should not be used as a substitute for trauma recovery therapy or procedures of a medical or psychological nature.
