I was a complete sceptic as to what benefit T.R.E. could offer me when a friend asked me to attend a course to support them. As an army veteran, I have experienced a great deal of physical and psychological trauma in addition to the usual stresses of life over many years. However as with most of my colleagues, the events we experienced were never discussed, and so whilst the physical wounds healed, the emotional trauma was quashed and hidden. I attended a 6 week T.R.E. course with Deborah, and she explained that undealt with trauma doesn’t just disappear, but holds itself in our bodies, which can cause tension, anger, pain, illness etc. I dutifully attended the sessions to placate my friend, not really believing they would make a difference to me. However I was amazed to find that by the end of the course I had completely turned a corner in my life. I am less stressed, less tense, more relaxed, calmer and more balanced. Even after such a short period of time, the change has been profound and family and friends have picked up on how much happier and less up-tight I appear. Deborah was right! T.R.E. has enabled me to lose stress and tension that I have suppressed over a number of years. It is a gradual process, but I will continue to use T.R.E. as a means of releasing the traumas of my life and getting back the real me.

Having attended one of Deborah’s T.R.E. presentations I decided to try out the therapy myself. As someone with relatively low stress, probably due to my fitness regime & commitment to take time out for self regularly, I wasn’t sure what, if anything, I would get from the sessions. However, I wanted to be able to share my experience with clients as there was a chance it could benefit some of them. The T.R.E. workshop provided solid background information on what the therapy is and how it works (along with some great book recommendations), it provided a clear step by step process that once taken through by Deborah meant I could do it on my own at home, and once I relaxed into it, it helped me to release the build-up of what I call ‘daily little stresses’ that often compound in the body (and can easily snowball into bigger stresses showing up as aches & pains). Now, as I continue to practice T.R.E., it is helping to increase the flexibility in my adductors, it provides me with a mental & physical escape from it all during the actual session (almost sleeping through the tremors) and that allows me to achieve a real sense of calm by the end of the session. I now see it as an integral part of my wellbeing routine and can recommend it to literally anyone & everyone.
