In this episode, Alex Greene interviews Ellen McKenzie, TRE provider, a yoga therapist, and certification trainer, about her journey with TRE and how she integrates it into her therapeutic practice. They discuss the benefits of tremoring, both as a self-care tool and in facilitated sessions, as well as how Ellen combines TRE with other modalities like somatics.
Ellen shares how she was first introduced to TRE and how it became an "aha moment" for understanding the role of the nervous system in health. She talks about using tremoring to help clients get out of pain and stress cycles. Ellen also explains how she weaves together tools like yoga, somatics, and TRE to address diverse issues - from back pain to anxiety to trauma recovery. She and Alex discuss the value of learning to tremor solo vs. in facilitated sessions. They also explore Ellen's TRE & somatics workshops, where she has found tremoring helps "prime" the nervous system to benefit from subtle somatic movements.
If you're curious about how TRE works or are interested in trying it yourself, be sure to listen to this episode. Ellen provides great insight into how TRE can be integrated into a holistic treatment approach to support mind-body healing and transformation. Whether you're a practitioner looking to expand your skills or an individual seeking support, you'll learn valuable information about the power of working with the nervous system through TRE.
