This was an excellent podcast conversation with Haley. She is an advanced TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises) facilitator and trainer in South Africa. She has trained and facilitated internationally because of how cutting edge her knowledge and understanding of TRE is.
Even if you are not aware of it, trauma is affecting you. And the sooner you get to healing, the faster your life trajectory improves.
Enjoy this wide-ranging and beautifully authentic conversation that I had with Haley, we covered so much;
- Trauma is at epidemic proportions globally, affecting all of us.
- Haley gave us her definition of trauma
- How trauma is not only psychological but significantly body-based as well.
- The different survival responses in our bodies; fight, flight, freeze.
- Freeze is more common, and chronic than we know and causes so many issues of disconnection including generalized low muscle tone.
- What the process of TRE entails.
- How animals cope so well with stress even though they often deal with true life-threatening situations.
- How TRE has changed Haley’s life and why she got originally got involved.
- We discussed the fact that many of the long term TRE facilitators have a pronounced serene nature about them – that they have clearly had some powerful work done through TRE.
- We even touched on some experiences that I personally had during my TRE training.
- To feel safe in your nervous system creates a safe space around you for other people to more easily feel safe as well.
- Haley lets us in on some of the work that is happening by combining TRE with neurofeedback.
- We discuss the potential of TRE to be scalable because of how simple and safe it is.
- Dr David Bercili, the founder of the TRE system, has done some incredible work around the world with large groups of people to heal.
- Of course, we discuss what happiness means to Haley – to be experiencing loving relationships with minimal conflict. I resonate with this and think it to be a sign of a mature relationship.
- How important social support and connection is and the impact that COVID-19 has had on that for so many people.
