Developed by Dr. David Berceli, PhD, an expert in the field of trauma recovery and conflict resolution, TRE® is a stress, tension and trauma recovery practice.  There is extensive anecdotal evidence globally, as well as qualitative and quantitative clinical pilot studies that have validated the efficacy of this practice across the US, Canada and South Africa--specifically, noting TRE® for its "simplicity, brevity and immediate effects."

​

TRE® is currently practiced in more than 40 countries across the globe.
