Hi Matthijs, I would like to share my story. I am a mover (balett, yoga, slackline, acroyoga). I teach movement (minimal movement = yoga+mobility) I have a master in psychology (but never worked as a psychologist). I had a PTSD. I started a body oriented therapy. I started body oriented therapy, beause I had the feeling that reading a lot in the topic and having just talking session with a regular psychotherapist doesn't realy help after a certain point. Doesn't help with my "overreacting" body responses. So I started body oriented therapy. On the that therapy we had a mevement/dance session where the first instruction was "Follow your body, just do what feels good". So I did that. Since I am a mover and also teach movement, explored different movements I belive I have a good "body knowledge". I liked the excercise, I was in a good mood, it was a nice day I didn't expect anything strange to happen. I did that excercise and there was a "body choreography" instructed by my own body which I followed. It was on the ground. At a certain moment my feet started shaking. I let that shake happen because from Levine book I know that this is good. So I didn't try to control it (however I knew I could stop the shake, but I didn't want to). I don't want to describe the whole movents I did cause it would be too long. So my feet started to share more and more shake. I didn't want to stop and somehow that shake when UP on my body and I think reached my diaphragm. And than at the point of my diaphragm something super strange happened. My diaphragm and lungs pressed out "all" air and I made 3 extreamly loud shouts/screams. It sounded super scary form the outside. It was totally unintencional, I would NEVER scream like this...very very loud. After I had some full body shake, cry and than all stopped. I was like WFT WOW what was this???????? It was so strange, the strangest experience in my whole life. For me it felt like I was reliving my birth (?). The only association I had than was a baby first 3 crys after birth. My birth was in a way traumatic, but I never think too much about it. The whole experience was NOT SCARY from the inside. When the shake reached my diaphragm than there was a switch: I totally lost my consiuos control as if my "self" or "ego" would sent aside for 5 seconds and something much deeper, a deeper "self" would come out. I am not sure, but I think I relived my birth, but not sure exactly. I learnt about self and ego at the university, but to be honest I never deeply understood how to unserstand those words. But it was amazing experience, never ever happened anything so strange with me in my whole life. What is interesting after I felt like my body had a full RESET, like a computer. All program booted EXCEPT anxiety. Situations which would make me mad/anxious doesn't bother me at all. It feels like I got a more stabile nervous system back. Like as if the trouma which was totally stucked in my body just left my body. My good mood is back, motivation. Before I always felt my internal organs overreact on any stressor (my guts). Now nothing. Before the experience I only read Levine book and know about the shake as a response of the body after stress. I was awaire that something like TRE exist, but I didn't know too much about it, never saw any excercise and I totally didn't know who Berceli was. BUT somehow I managed to make very similar movements than what TRE has, which is purly amazing. My own body guided to get to t his experience. Like I always know that OUR BODY is AMAZING, but this special most beautiful experience prooved this again. I also had a kind of "dissociation" state in my mind (for long years), it was so difficult to concentrate (speciall in my work) and after this experience it changed as well. PURLY AMAZING. I am not obsessed with this method, I want to know everything, learn everything, read everything. I don't know how, but it is WORKING! Hope my comment can help to someone. :-)
This sounds amazing...! I have experienced glimpses of that sort of relief through shaking, which did include lots of 'weird', involuntary reactions - but after reading that, I'm feeling I want to go deeper, as there's still so much to release/integrate! All I'm thinking about right now is where to find some space in which I could allow these kinds of spontaneous reactions to surface... It's not something I necessarily want to do in a small apartment with the neighbours around :)
@@georgesonm1774 Haha, yes. I guess if it would happen in my home someone would call the police, cause it was really scary 😀. So this whole experience is amazing. I still do excercise which makes my body tremor and they really help to regulate my nervous system specially if there are big stressors. There are specific movements which I found somehow can start deeper "emotional" reactions. Movements around neck and head. It is all extremely interesting, but I would be so happy to be able to give explanation why exactly they are working, what exactly is happening in the body. I honestly also so extremely curious how my cathartic experience can be explained, but I am not sure I will find the answer for sure.
I tried TRE this morning and i was shaking and squirming all over my yoga mat. It felt like I was possessed and going through some kind of witchcraft. Afterwards I felt at peace and really calm.
I got hinted to TRE last week after struggeling with huge trauma in my childhood. I've been seeing therapists, anger management, psychiatry etc. I'm convinced that I no longer can be cured and my closest family is suffering under my outbreaks. I've been in a pattern for over 50 years and when somebody scares me suddenly I light up and explode as an atomic bom... Currently I'm using anti depression medicine just to give everybody around me a brake. I can't believe that this could maybe release some f the traumatic stress that has been build up in the biggest part of my life. Tell me there are still possibilities . Greetings from a Dutch guy living abroad.
He Ewout, Goed dat je TRE gevonden hebt, ik hoop dat het emotioneel en mentale verlossing geeft zoals bij mij. Er zijn altijd mogelijkheden tot heling. Ik heb onlangs een famillieopstelling gehad en droeg kennelijk trauma's van mijn moeder en vader. Hierdoor kon ik niet van mijn schouderpijn afkomen. Mocht je beroep willen doen op mijn kennis, ervaring en netwerk met professionals die ik als probleemoplosser acht, dan kun je mij berichten voor een online consult. --> info@injured-dumbass.com Het ga je goed Ewout!

1.It’s all built in us, it’s natural (dealing with stress) 2. The best teachings/teachers integrate body and the psychic - that’s why I can’t carry on teaching “just” exercise. Trauma was just stress for me, now it’s something fascinating!! Thank you both! 👌🏻👌🏻😀
Brainspotting. Your next journey. TRE goes body to brain. Brainspotting is your next journey because it goes brain to body. Get them going together and you're onto something that I've been experiencing. Truly, amazing!!
He Aletheia, thanks for sharing! It was a very nice interview to do, David is a very insightful man with some nice humor. What was the most crucial question you had in mind if I may ask? Matthijs
I´ve noticed i do it naturally when going out of a position to release the muscle. A known Sistema excercise is to tension the body in stages when you follow the breath inhalation or exhalation to learn when/where your body is tensed. This Vagus nerve stuff is interesting. I´m sure it can help people stuck on Orange/Red. Shaking is also very common in Qigong.
What a great video Matthijs and so special that I see it right now. I'm in my 3th Module of my TRE Training and these questions you asked David are the core of the meaning of TRE for me. So thanks for sharing!
Excellent conversation !!, thanks a lot for sharing. Need your suggestions please. I have followed all the exercise steps and still don't get tremors. 1. Assume body takes a few days to adjust ? Is it that I should get tremors a few days later ? 2. Do you think, increasing exercise duration to cause more fatigue should help ? 3. Shall I try increasing exercise routine twice in a day until tremors are induced ?
How are you now ? ( no problem if you don’t see my question ), i gave it a try today, i get tremors but i also control this and it just happen many times in 2 hours, really i do not get use to it but still want to do more
Excellent interview this is very crucial work for the 21st century. I've been trying to get the tremors but i think i have a high theshold. Should I do the exercise for a longer period of time to activate the tremour?
mudskippa he Mudskippa, thanks. I watched and joined this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hTPFbd-5xmE.html Listened and rewatched it. Then I started seeking everything on David Berceli. Does that give any direction?
@@MatthijsvanDoesburg I have trapped trauma which is causing me to have debilitating migraines and dizziness. I have started doing yoga which is wonderful. I do get shakes and a little nausea in yoga but it's not that appropriate to release all that in a class so I'm hoping TRE will allow me to release it at home :)
Hello, i have a sciatica like symptoms. But not entirely sciatica. May be related to arthritis. Sore pinching muscles in my buttock. Will this help me?
