Content of the Course

The focus in this course is on tremoring and release in the upper body, including the rib cage, diaphragm, abdomen, back, spine, shoulders, shoulder blades and arms. The focus is initially on the type of tremors typical in TRE but as the emotional and relational functions and movements of the upper body are closely related to the breath and the voice as well as the movements of contraction and expansion we will also include some basic ways to work with contraction, expansion, the breath and sound. 

The description of the course is a general framework for the topics that will be covered. In addition, you will be able to ask questions and receive support in your tremor practice.

Support and knowledge to safely access upper body tremors

A common phenomenon in TRE® practice is experiencing tremors primarily in the lower body, such as the legs and pelvis. This is due to the fact that the basic TRE® exercises target the lower body primarily. There is good reason for this, as tremors and autonomous movement in the legs and pelvis for most participants feel safer and easier to manage. 

However, many practitioners seek ways to release tension in the upper body.

For some, tremors naturally extend into the upper body, but for many, this requires additional facilitation due to a higher level of both conscious and unconscious habitual control and freeze of emotions,  breath, defensive mechanisms etc.

Challenges and solutions in working with the upper body

Tremoring in the upper body can impact the breathing and open up emotions and emotional movements like crying, anger, fear, anxiety etc. Also, sensations and movements such as nausea, coughing, retching and other movements of the internal tubes, stomach, throat etc are quite common in body work but not often talked about, explained or shown how to use constructively as part of the process. 

These sensations and movements are here seen as indicators of the body coming out of freeze and dissociation and can be welcomed, facilitated and helped through completion.  We will talk about this in the course and introduce the basics of how to include and use these types of movements as they occur in the process.   

For new practitioners these sensations, emotions and impulses may initially be more challenging and feel more uncomfortable, unsafe or strange. So more knowledge, time, support and safety can be needed to access tremors and release in the upper body. 

This course provides you with the understanding and knowledge you need to access upper body tremors and navigate the process safely.
