TRE Therapy in Spain: Private Trauma Release Exercises at Sea Recovery

Sea Recovery offers private, trauma-informed TRE Therapy (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) in a luxury rehab setting in Southern Spain — designed to support nervous system healing, emotional regulation, and recovery from deep-rooted stress, trauma, and addiction.

Our one-to-one TRE sessions are a core part of personalised recovery at Sea Recovery. We work exclusively with adults seeking emotional clarity, nervous system balance, and body-based healing — beyond talk therapy. Whether you’re struggling with trauma, anxiety, addiction, burnout, or dual diagnosis, TRE helps restore safety and connection from the inside out.

What Is TRE Therapy?

TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises) is a body-based method that helps release chronic muscular tension, shake out stored trauma, and regulate the nervous system. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE involves a series of gentle movements and postures that safely activate the body’s natural tremor mechanism — a process known as neurogenic shaking.

This shaking is not pathological. It’s innate — the body’s built-in way to process stress and restore balance. In animals, this release happens instinctively after threat. In humans, we often suppress it. TRE gives the body permission to return to that natural healing cycle.

Why TRE Matters in Trauma Recovery

Talk therapy helps us understand. But trauma lives in the body — in tight shoulders, shallow breath, clenched jaws, frozen limbs. TRE offers something talk can’t: a direct path to somatic release and nervous system recalibration.

• Releases deep muscular tension stored from trauma, stress, or chronic anxiety
• Regulates the vagus nerve and parasympathetic system for lasting calm
• Helps reduce hypervigilance, numbness, dissociation, and emotional reactivity
• Increases resilience, presence, and ability to stay in the body

TRE can be profoundly impactful for clients who feel “frozen” — emotionally, physically, or relationally — and want to reconnect without needing to explain or analyse.

Our One-to-One Approach to TRE

At Sea Recovery, TRE is always offered in a private, trauma-informed session. No group dynamics. No performance. Just you, your breath, and a space of total safety.

Each session includes:

• Guided grounding and nervous system preparation
• Postural sequences to activate neurogenic tremors (shaking)
• Space for integration — lying down, with blankets, warm tea, or quiet rest
• Optional journaling, breathwork, or mindfulness to close

We don’t push. We don’t rush. Your body leads. Our role is to hold the space — gently, precisely, and in tune with your emotional and physical readiness.

Who TRE Therapy Helps Most

TRE is recommended for clients facing:

• PTSD and unresolved trauma
• Generalised anxiety and panic
• Burnout and emotional collapse
• Alcohol addiction and emotional shutdown
• Drug misuse and relapse patterns
• Low self-worth or disconnection from identity
• ADHD, hypersensitivity, or nervous overstimulation

It’s especially effective when you feel disconnected from your body — or feel like you can’t “think” your way out of what you’re feeling. This is where TRE steps in.

How TRE Complements Other Therapies

At Sea Recovery, we integrate TRE alongside evidence-based and holistic therapies for full-spectrum healing:

• DBT for emotional regulation and grounding
• CBT to shift thought patterns that reinforce stress loops
• MET Therapy to resolve trauma without reliving it
• Creative therapy to express what the body reveals
• Yoga and mindfulness to anchor back into the body
• Relapse prevention to build regulation into daily life

Explore our luxury rehab approach to see how each treatment is individually curated — not forced, not rushed.

The Physical Space You Heal In

Your TRE sessions unfold in peaceful, supportive environments:

• Private therapy suites with natural light and soft textures
• Outdoor areas for grounding post-session (mountain views, sun warmth)
• Dedicated recovery spaces with weighted blankets and sensory tools
• On-site staff trained in trauma-sensitive somatic care

This isn’t a bootcamp or group retreat. This is luxury rehab designed for safety and depth — one client at a time.

Client Story: When Words Fell Short

A 44-year-old lawyer came to Sea Recovery after years of therapy for childhood trauma. “I’ve talked about it endlessly,” she said. “But I still can’t sleep. My body’s always tense.”

In her third TRE session, her legs began to tremor — slowly, then rhythmically. She wept. “My body knew what to do. I just needed to let it.” By the end of her stay, her sleep had returned, her anxiety softened, and for the first time in years, she felt quiet in her own skin.

• Relapse prevention tools and emotional regulation support

FAQs About TRE Therapy

Will I lose control during shaking?

No — neurogenic tremors are gentle and self-regulating. You’re always in charge. We guide you to stay present, grounded, and safe throughout.

Do I need to talk about my trauma?

No. TRE doesn’t require you to speak about past events. It’s a somatic process — your body releases what it’s ready to, without rehashing stories.

What if I don’t shake?

That’s okay. Every body is different. Sometimes the body needs time to feel safe. Subtle releases often precede visible tremors — and they’re just as valuable.

Is this part of addiction recovery?

Yes. TRE is often used in our addiction treatment programmes to help regulate stress, cravings, and unresolved trauma stored in the body.
