Most of you will have heard of the phrase "Slow and steady wins the race"
Whilst this may not be true for an elite athlete attempting the 100 metre sprint race, it certainly rings true when it comes to learning how to process stress and trauma in the body.
We are in a fast paced world where we are always rushing, where quick fixes are sold by influencers and practitioners all the time.
"7 Day Cleanse!"
"30 Day Reset!"
"3 Months Guaranteed Results!"
And sure, you might get initial results but is it sustainable, effective and useful for the long term? Generally something that feels a bit extreme, is not going to be manageable as a regular self care practice.
TRE is a lifelong practice. It's a gradual unwinding, noticing and allowing all that needs to be heard, but in it's own time. You cannot force what is not ready to reveal itself.
With a guided TRE practice, you can gently explore your edges, gradually expanding your window of tolerance with someone by your side so that your body and mind knows that it can always return to a felt sense of safety when needed. With a slow and gentle practice you get to learn how to recognise what is enough for you in that moment and when to take a break. Self regulation is a key component of TRE.
Some people can be looking for big or profound experiences and are disappointed or unmotivated to carry on when it doesn't happen straight away.
It's important to remember to trust the process. It can take many many practices of TRE before you really start to notice how much of a profound effect it can have on your life. The key is in the noticing and awareness of the subtle changes in your nervous system that allow small (but not insignificant) changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviours over the long term.
