E10: Case Report of a Former Soldier Using TRE (Tension/Trauma Releasing Exercises) For PostTraumatic Stress Disorder Self-Care By R Heath and J Beattie

This case study explores the application of Tension/Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) as a self-care intervention for a former Australian soldier experiencing Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following a brain injury. The report details the soldier's experience and measured improvements in perceived stress and comfort levels after learning and consistently practicing TRE. It highlights TRE's potential as an innovative, somatic approach to trauma recovery that encourages the body's natural tremor mechanism to release tension. The study also suggests that the suppression of natural shaking responses in traditional treatments may inadvertently hinder recovery, advocating for further investigation into TRE's role in addressing the neurobiology of stress and trauma.   You can read the full article here: https://jmvh.org/article/case-report-of-a-former-soldier-using-tre-tension-trauma-releasing-exercises-for-posttraumatic-stress-disorder-self-care/
