I'm pleased to find that David Bercelli in his book "The Revolutionary Trauma Release Process: Transcend Your Toughest Times" provides exactly what has been needed, a way to understand what happens to us as we go through life and store more and more of this emotional trauma. Even more important, Bercelli teaches a wonderfully effective and easy to learn and to do set of "trauma release exercises" in his book and DVD. These exercises, maybe I should say activities because they are so easy and comfortable to perform, produce a profound and immediate result that is felt at a physical, mental, and emotional level. Performing these exercises, even on those days that feel so heavy with troubling emotions, leaves one feeling a sense of relaxation in all the muscles as if tension had been magically drained away. There is the wonderful sense of release like that which comes after the emotional cleansing of a good cry. There is the refreshing mental clarity that comes when emotional turmoil leaves the mind. And, these are all effects that anyone can produce for themselves, anywhere, any time. What a blessing David Bercelli has given with his teaching - trauma release exercises give the one thing we have all longed for at one time or another - freedom from emotional trauma. I recommend this simple and effective training for anyone of any age. Tell your friends and family about "Trauma Release"!
I recently met a friend who is in his early 70's, whom I had introduced to Trauma Release Exercise one year ago. I couldn't believe how great he looked, trimmer, happier, more alert. His answer when I asked him to account for how he had turned back the clock, "I've been doing Bercelli's Trauma Release Exercises every day since you showed them to me a year ago." It is amazing the healing that can occur when chronic emotional burdens are relieved!

I was skeptical but open enough to try Dr. Berceli's process after reading how he developed the exercises. Berceli, an ex monk, is a trauma expert. His laboratories were battle fields and war zone where he helped establish trauma relief programs for survivors of horrendous events and conditions such as war and genocide. While running Trauma Relief programs in the Middle East, Rwanda, and Bosnia, he observed in many cultures how people reacted physically to extreme trauma and the horrors of war yet how some recovered faster than others. In a nutshell, he was able to put together simple physical exercises to release the muscle tension that gets deeply imprinted in the body and mind at times of unbearable stress.
After learning that these physical exercises were developed for times of war and horrendous stress, I figured that they might work for ordinary stress overload and excessive worry. I did not have any trauma that I was aware of, but I have been a long-time worrier that probably comes from running a business. I was curious enough to give the exercises a shot. Bingo! After about four or five sessions, I cannot believe how much better I began to feel.
That was six months ago and positive results persist. My resting heart rate and blood pressure have dropped permanently. I am calmer. I sleep better, and I now finally understand the concept of feeling grounded--something that I thought was just new age psycho babble. I did Berceli's exercises about twenty times over a two-month period. They take about twenty minutes per session; now I only do the exercise when I feel the need to or occasionally after my regular exercise routine. I am excited because the day to day grounding benefits have remained without the need for regular practice.
I would recommend also obtaining a video demo of the exercise if you want additional instructions for the exercises.
There is no reason not to be skeptical, but enjoy the book and give the exercises/process a shot. I believe the process can help with trauma recovery, but the exercises which are easy can help almost anyone develop more resiliency toward stress and worry. Remember to give the exercises a chance by doing them four or five times, and I hope others find the exercises as valuable as I have.

Com uma linguagem simples e de fácil leitura é possível aplicar a técnica e sentir seus efeitos imediatamente na redução da tensão no corpo.
Indico para todos aqueles que ainda carregam consigo as tensões do estresse diário da vida, e os efeitos nocivos do trauma.
Dr. Berceli machte im Rahmen seiner Stress- und Traumaforschung auf der ganzen Welt u.a. zwei bedeutende Beobachtungen:
- Als Reaktion auf Stress spannen wir instinktiv unsere Muskeln an (und dies führt wenn diese Spannung nicht nachhaltig abgebaut wird u.a. zu erhöhter Stressanfälligkeit, einem Gefühl der Überforderungen, Schlafstörungen, depressiven Episoden und körperlichen (Ver)Spannungen)
- Und unabhängig von Alter, Geschlecht oder kulturellem Hintergrund besitzt jeder menschliche Körper einen natürlichen Lösungsmechanismus, um diesen Stress wieder abzubauen. Dies geschiet durch ein leichtes Zittern und Vibrieren im Körper - welches leider oft unwillkürlich unterdrückt wird. Vergleichbare "Zitter-Entspannungs-Mechanismen" sind auch in der Tierwelt anzutreffen.
Da durch gesellschaftliche Prägung dieser äußerst clevere Mechanismus zur Stressregulation (Zittern um Spannung abzubauen) oft unterdrückt und unterbunden wird, verbleiben diese Anspannungen im Körper. Daher entwickelte Dr. Bercelli leicht erlernbare und sehr einfache Übungen, die den Körper unterstützen und anregen, das oben genannte autonome Zittern und Vibrieren wieder zu zulassen. Das Zittern wird als sehr angenehm, unmittelbar entspannend und oft auch als lustvoll beschrieben. Dieses Zittern wird in der Fachsprache auch als "neurogenes Zittern" bezeichnet ("neurogenic tremor").
Das Buch gibt einen guten und schnellen Einblick in die Übungen, als auch in die dahinter liegenden neuronalen und biochemischen Wirkungsmechanismen im Körper.
Ich denke das Buch ist eine gute Möglichkeit, mehr über TRE zu erfahren. Ich selber habe mir dann auch noch das deutsche Buch besorgt ("Körperübungen für die Traumaheilung", leider ist dieses Buch aktuell nur über das Norddeutsche Institut für Bioenergetik e.V. NIBA zu beziehen). Letztendlich habe ich mich dann auch noch entschieden, auch mal bewusst eine Einzelstunde zu buchen. Denn wie bei vielen Dingen ist das persönlich erleben und die Unterstützung und Begleitung durch einen erfahrenen Menschen immer hilfreich - da hat das Buch irgendwann einfach seine Grenzen erreicht. Schwimmen lernt man ja auch nicht durch das Lesen von einem Buch.... .
Alles in allem kann ich sagen, das mir die Methode TRE super geholfen hat, um in stressigen Alltagssituationen einen kühlen Kopf zu bewahren. Ich entspanne innerhalb kürzester Zeit und all die kreisenden und mahnenden Gedanken im Kopf verliehren schnell an Kraft. Darüber hinaus spüre ich meinen Körper deutlich besser und auch mein Schulter-Nacken-Bereich ist endlich deutlich entspannter und die Schmerzen werden immer weniger. Gerade auch in Zeiten großer Arbeitbelastungen greife ich gerne immer mal wieder auf diese Methode zurück.
