Welcome To EveryBody Needs TRE
What is TRE?
Your body already has natural ways of responding to stress and releasing tension. One of those is the body's natural tremor response.
TRE™ (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises), developed by Dr. David Berceli, is a body-based practice that uses a series of exercises to safely access this natural tremor mechanism.
The tremor itself isn't something you have to learn—it's something your body already knows how to do. For many of us, our nervous system simply needs the opportunity to reconnect with this natural response.
Through TRE, you can begin to develop greater awareness of what is happening in your body, explore how your nervous system responds to stress, and learn how to work with the tremor response safely and at your own pace.
Who needs this training?
TRE isn't only for people who have experienced a major traumatic event. Stress, ongoing demands, difficult experiences, and periods of overwhelm can all affect how our nervous system and body respond to everyday life.
Is TRE for me?
You may be interested in TRE simply because you want to better understand your own body and nervous system, develop a personal TRE practice, or explore another way of working with stress and tension.
You don’t need a particular background or profession to learn TRE—or to become a Certified TRE Provider. People come to TRE from all walks of life and bring many different experiences with them.
Some people come to TRE for their own personal practice and later discover they want to teach it to others. Others already work with people and want to incorporate TRE into the work they do.
TRE Providers come from many different backgrounds— from healthcare, mental health, bodywork, movement, education, and wellness professions to entirely different careers and life experiences.
TRE really is for all.
You don't have to know yet where TRE will take you. Module 1 is where you begin.
Module 1: Introduction to TRE and Deepening Your Personal Practice
Module 1 — Begin With You
Whether you're new to TRE, wanting to deepen your practice, or considering becoming a Certified TRE Provider, we start in the same place—with you. You'll learn the foundations of TRE, explore how stress and trauma affect the nervous system and body, and begin developing a TRE practice that works with your individual needs.
During Module 1, you'll:
-
Learn the TRE exercises and how they are used to access the body's natural tremor mechanism.
-
Explore your own tremor response and learn how to work with it safely.
-
Develop greater awareness of your nervous system and what is happening physically, emotionally, and mentally.
-
Learn ways to adjust your practice based on what your body and nervous system can work with that day.
-
Begin building a personal TRE practice you can continue beyond the classroom.
Module 1 can stand on its own as a personal learning experience—
or it can be your first step toward becoming a Certified TRE Provider.

Thinking ahead for Certification? The Certification Program is set on a track (time schedule) starting with the Module 1 you choose. You must be able to achieve competencies in each module to move to the next one. If you are not able to move forward, we will move you into another track while working with you to meet the required competencies.
TRE Provider Certification Program
“Our certification program will prepare you to teach TRE safely, responsibly and professionally. Additionally, we require that our trainees experience the depth of personal healing, re-balancing and tension releasing that is possible through this somatic process”.
~ David Berceli
The TRE Provider Certification Program
The TRE framework is standardized. The people you will work with aren't.
Becoming a Certified TRE Provider builds on the foundation you begin developing in Module 1—your own TRE practice, nervous system awareness, and understanding of the tremor mechanism.
As you move through certification, the focus begins to expand from understanding your own experience to learning how to safely support the person in front of you.
You'll learn to recognize where a client may be starting, observe what their nervous system and body may be communicating, and make thoughtful decisions about pacing, support, modifications, and readiness for tremor.
Sometimes that means modifying an exercise. Sometimes it means slowing the process down or using less activation. And sometimes it means recognizing that accessing the tremor mechanism may take extra time and care.
Our certification program follows TRE for All (TFA) Global Certification Standards. Within that framework, our training places additional focus on helping trainees develop the observation, decision-making, and adaptability needed to work with different people and different bodies.
Program Requirements
While we designed our program to be fun, exciting and full of personal growth; it is a program that requires focus, time and dedication. You must be able to complete assignments on time, keep track of schedules, work with zoom and each other in a professional manner. Please review our program requirements, program dates (so you know your intended track) and program costs before signing up for our certification program. If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Why Train With Everybody Needs TRE?
Two Trainers. Two Professional Perspectives. One Training Team.
Throughout your certification, you'll work with both Lizzie Hearne and Betsy Ross.
We each bring different professional backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to the work—giving you the opportunity to learn from both as you develop your own skills and teaching style.
Our training follows TRE for All (TFA) Global Certification Standards, while placing additional focus on something we believe is essential when working with others: No two people—and no two TRE processes—are exactly alike.
We want you to leave training knowing the TRE framework and developing the ability to observe the person in front of you, consider what they may need, and make thoughtful decisions about pacing, support, modifications, and readiness for tremor.
Our goal isn't to teach you one way to work with every client. It's to help you develop the understanding, skills, and confidence to work with different people and different bodies while remaining grounded in the standards and framework of the global TRE community.
