VIDEO: What is TRE
TRE means five easy yoga-like movements that activate certain muscles and nerves and makes our body shake. It doesn´t require good physical condition and it is suitable for almost everyone from kids to grown-ups. Shaking is a common way to release stress and muscle tension for all mammals including us.
Sometimes animals know it better. They don't have a lot of time to recover from near-death experiences. Life goes on and they got no possibility to see a psychologist. Still, they don't seem to be stressed out like we are. Wonder why.
Animals have a much better solution. After an antelope survives a lion's attack it goes to a safe place and shakes all the tension and fear away. After a while, it is like it never happened. We have the same shaking mechanism in our bodies. We just have forgotten that!
