TRE^® - Resilience Training For First Responders

The method provides a body-based, stigma-free, trauma-informed model of resilience. It has a strong focus on the self-regulation of the central nervous system and self-management of occupational performance & wellbeing.

Shakes and tremors can occur spontaneously after stressful or traumatic events as a natural recovery response.  TRE^® normalizes this response and can be used to ‘de-escalate the body’ after critical incidents, as part of standard recovery routines to help build ‘neurobiological resilience’ in the nervous system over time.  It can also be used at the end of a shift, to help the transition from work to home life, by switching off hypervigilance and shifting the physiology of the body to calmer, relaxed and more relational states.

TRE^® is being used by First Responders and elite athletes all over the world. It is embraced as a performance enhancing technique that offers preventative outcomes and a general sense of well-being.

The Evidence for TRE^®

Due to its ease of use and immediate effect of reducing hyperarousal and muscular tension, TRE^® was identified by the US Military as one of the five most promising techniques to regulate the nervous system. A controlled clinical trial using TRE^® for the treatment of stress and PTSD is currently underway in the US Department of Veteran’s Affairs. Peer-reviewed research has also shown TRE^® helps to reduce domestic violence and mental health conditions, as well as improving quality of life and the capacity to deal with adversity.  Click here for the TRE Research Database.

In Australia, evaluations by front-line health professionals consistently report immediate calming effects and they unanimously recommend TRE^® for other staff in their organizations.  At the individual level, the benefits of TRE^®are also instantly verifiable using wearable technology that measures sleep quality and heart rate variability, critical neurobiological markers of optimal performance and sustained resilience across their career-span.
