🌸 How can TRE support emotional release after birth?
Becoming a mother is one of the most transformative experiences we can go through — physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
⠀
Birth asks everything of us. The body opens, the hormones surge, and the heart expands in ways we can’t prepare for. But sometimes, after the birth, **our bodies hold onto the intensity of it all.**
⠀
You might feel tension in your body that doesn’t seem to go away, or waves of emotion that surface unexpectedly — sadness, anxiety, irritability, or even numbness.
⠀
This is where **TRE (Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises)** can be such a gentle and powerful ally in postpartum healing.

🌿**What Is TRE?**
TRE is a simple series of movements that help activate your body’s **natural tremor response** — a gentle shaking mechanism that humans and animals use to release deep muscular tension, stress, and stored trauma.
⠀
These tremors aren’t random — they’re your nervous system’s way of **discharging what the body no longer needs to hold onto.**
⠀
In the postpartum period, this can mean releasing:
✨ Muscular tension from pregnancy and birth
✨ Emotional overwhelm or tears that never fully came
✨ Fear or anxiety surrounding birth, motherhood, or the changes in your identity
⠀
TRE helps bring your body back into **a state of balance and calm**, often leaving you feeling grounded, lighter, and more connected to yourself and your baby.

🌿 Why TRE Is Especially Supportive After Birth
After birth, many mothers focus on physical recovery — but **the nervous system needs tending, too.**
⠀
TRE offers a space to:
🌸 Release stored stress without having to *talk through it*
🌸 Gently calm the fight-flight-freeze response
🌸 Restore a sense of safety in your body
🌸 Support sleep, digestion, and emotional regulation
⠀
It’s a practice that honors the wisdom of your body — helping it integrate the profound experience of bringing life into the world.
⠀
You deserve to feel *safe, settled, and at home in yourself *
