The powerful effects of doing Trauma Release Exercises for 8 weeks

from The Inner Kindness Therapy Podcast

Search online for Trauma Release Exercises, and you’ll find loads of information on how to do it, pictures and films of people lying on their backs, tremoring. But there’s very little information on what actually happens when you do these exercises regularly - how it affects your sleep, possible side-effects, even how long it takes to heal from the trauma, to start feeling better.I’ve been doing Trauma Release Exercises regularly for 8 weeks now, with the assistance of a certified practitioner.I’ve found the process utterly exhausting. The exhaustion usually comes one or two days after a session of tremoring, but to be honest, I never really know from day to day whether I’m going to be exhausted or wired.I discussed the effects in this video that I made on my YouTube channel a couple of weeks ago:The video was made quite spontaneously. I had been intending to make an entirely different video, but I was finding the effects of the Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) so overwhelming that I just felt I needed to talk about it.I do need to emphasise that the Trauma Release Exercises are not actually to blame for this emotional and physiological rollercoaster. It’s emotional release itself that is exhausting. The TRE process is just a tool for doing this - and a very effective one.Going by online comments, it seems that other people have had similar experiences when doing TRE, although there are also many people who report none of these effects - they just experience more relaxation and less stress.More informationLinks to where you can obtain TRE online:https://treglobal.org/open-workshops-classes/https://tre-online.com/One-to-one TRE:https://treglobal.org/tre-provider-list/https://treuk.comMore info on Internal Family Systems (IFS):https://innerkindnesstherapy.co.uk/posts/internal-family-systems-sub-personalities/https://ifs-institute.com/Music: Sunset On The Beach by JuliusH on PixabayMoment by SergeQuadradoGet full access to Inner Kindness Therapy at innerkindnesstherapy.substack.com/subscribe
