Sleep Improvement, Trauma and TRE®
Many find that TRE helps to improve sleep. In this course I combine TRE with a Trauma Informed Approach to Sleep Improvement.
This 4 part course is based on my Sleep Improvement Course, and for the TRE community the course is adapted to include more information about trauma and its effects on sleep, TRE in relation to sleep, dreams and nightmares, as well as a TRE session in each part of the course.

Who is This Course For?
The course is open to anyone who already is familiar with TRE and who do TRE as a personal practice. If you are not familiar with TRE and still interested in this course you are welcome, but this course is not meant as an introduction to TRE. If you are a TRE Provider or Trainer this information can also be interesting for your clients and can help you support them with regards to sleep issues.
Sleep Problems and Sleep Improvement

This course offers you the opportunity to take control of your sleep and unlock the potential for a more energized, productive life.
Challenges to Sleep in Today’s World
In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to overlook the importance of quality sleep. From hectic schedules to constant digital stimulation, our modern lifestyle often sabotages our ability to rest properly. Yet, adequate and restful sleep is a cornerstone of a fulfilling life.
The Impact of Trauma on Sleep
Especially for those who have experience trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) the effects on sleep can be debilitating, affecting not only your physical health but also your mental and emotional resilience.
Trauma can have profound effects on sleep, leading to nightmares, hyperarousal, intrusive memories, hypervigilance and physical symptoms like pain and muscle tension, making in difficult to relax, unwind and fall or stay asleep, leading to a cycle of sleeplessness, chronic sleep disturbances and distress.
