About TRE® & Our Approach

TRE® (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) is a body-led method that invites gentle, natural shaking — the tremor mechanism — to help release stored tension. When practiced with grounding and self-regulation, tremors can support the nervous system to settle and build resilience over time.

Our training emphasises embodiment — learning by experience, not just theory. You’ll develop a felt sense of safety, pacing, and containment in your own practice first, then learn to guide others ethically and within scope.

Overview

Structure: Training consists of two 3-day modules (Module 1 & 2) and a 3-day Module 3, with monthly supervision days in between. Most trainees complete the pathway in 8 months to 2 years, depending on supervision cadence and prior experience.

Start here: Module 1 is open to everyone. From here you can continue into the TRE® Provider Process — a guided journey to certification, supported by supervision and practice.

What you’ll gain: An embodied understanding of the neurophysiology and anatomy of stress and trauma; the ability to hold a safe, contained space; and practical skills to work with individuals and small groups using TRE® tools and principles.

1

Module 1 — Meet your tremor mechanism

Connect with natural release through tremoring. Explore grounding, self-regulation, orienting, and your window of tolerance. Open to everyone.

2

Module 2 — Teaching individuals

One-to-one facilitation: session flow, pacing, consent, safety plans, contra-indications, and adapting TRE® for diverse bodies and stages.

3

Module 3 — Groups & community

Facilitating small groups: contracting, demonstration with assistants, co-regulation, spotting overwhelm, and closing grounded sessions.

Supervision rhythm

Between modules you’ll attend monthly supervision to integrate practice, ask questions, and receive feedback. Expect a blend of in-person and online sessions depending on the schedule; where offered, distance learners join via Zoom. Many sessions run on selected Saturdays, typically 08:30–12:30.

Typical requirements

  • Personal practice and reflective journals
  • Private mentor sessions after training blocks
  • Compulsory supervision days
  • Peer practice / swap sessions
  • Case studies: individual (Modules 1–2) and group (Module 3)
  • Ethics, scope of practice, and referral pathways

Practicals

  • Venues & format: Johannesburg (Kyalami) with a Cape Town option for certain components; some sessions online
  • Certification & CPD: International TRE® Provider certification via Dr David Berceli (US)
  • Registration fee: US$15
  • CPD points: may be available — see current info pack
  • Dates & fees: vary by intake — use the current info pack

What you’ll come away with

  • A grounded, personal TRE® practice and the capacity to self-regulate during tremors
  • Clear understanding of the body-brain stress response and how TRE® supports down-regulation
  • Skills to structure sessions, pace safely, and recognise when to pause or refer
  • Confidence to teach individuals (Module 2) and facilitate small groups (Module 3)
  • Trauma-informed communication and containment tools clients can use between sessions
  • Documentation habits: notes, supervision logs, and ethical record-keeping
