A simplified lying-down version of TRE that allows natural leg tremors to release tension without the full exercise sequence
Real-time guidance through each step of this practice
This is a simplified, accessible version of Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) developed by Dr. David Berceli. Unlike the full TRE protocol which includes standing exercises, this version goes directly to the butterfly position to induce neurogenic tremors. The mechanism is the same: activating the body's natural tremor response to release muscular tension and complete interrupted stress responses. This shorter version is ideal for daily practice, before sleep, or for those who cannot do standing exercises. Research shows even brief tremoring sessions can reduce cortisol and improve nervous system regulation.
