Summary

Most of us have been taught to stop shaking when we’re scared or stressed. But what if that shaking is actually the key to feeling safe again?


David Berceli has worked in some of the most stressful environments on earth. From his time in war zones came TRE — Trauma Releasing Exercises — a way to deliberately reawaken this natural tremoring reflex and let the body finish what stress started.


In this episode, we explore how TRE works, why it’s so effective, and how it can help you reconnect with your body’s own healing mechanisms.

When people tremor, we say they're weak, they're vulnerable, they're insecure, they're nervous,

we have no positive paradigm for the human organism tremoring.

And it's sort of like crying, Simon.

When you're two years old and you hurt your knee, you cry.

0:17.8

When you're 11 years old, you might not cry anymore. By the time you're an adult, you can break your knee and you won't cry. When you're 11 years old, you might not cry anymore. By the time you're an adult,

0:23.2

you can break your knee and you won't cry. We actually train ourselves out of the very pulsating

0:30.4

mechanism, which is genetically encoded in us to take us out of that fetal response and bring us back into a safe, healthy relaxation

0:41.0

again.

0:42.2

That's why the level of stress, tension, and trauma has increased so much on this planet.

We're not using the very mechanism that the human organism has to get us out of this state.

Hello, we all have shadow material in our bodies and nervous systems, and turning towards that is key.

1:08.3

If we're going to experience more peace and joy and clarity and if you're

1:13.7

interested in so-called awakening as I very much am. Now I spoke about my own experience going

1:20.3

through some shame shadow material in the last episode. So this conversation follows on from that one

1:25.9

and it's with David Burselli, who is the

1:28.4

creator of trauma release exercises, TRE, which is a really powerful and easy way to release tension

1:59.3

how effective this work can be because I felt so clear and calm afterwards.
