About Trauma & Tension Release Exercises in Edmonton
Tension and Trauma Release Exercises (TRE) at Sana Soma Integrative Centre is a movement-based, body-focused practice that helps the nervous system release stored tension through natural tremors. Sessions are paced, relational, and grounded in somatic awareness, emphasizing safety and choice. TRE supports the body in discharging excess tension without revisiting memories or forcing catharsis. The practice restores nervous system balance, reconnects you with bodily rhythms, and can be used alone or alongside somatic counselling, Brainspotting, or other focused therapies for integrated, sustainable healing.
The Benefits They Have Gained From Using It
Clients practicing TRE often experience reduced physical tension, improved relaxation, and a stronger sense of embodiment. The work respects nervous system limits, integrates ancestral understanding of tremoring, and supports natural balance, providing a safe, body-based approach to restoring connection, calm, and resilience without analysis or verbal processing.
