TRE® for children

TRE® can be an excellent method even for young children (from 6-7 years when they are able to sustain attention). For several reasons. Unlike adults, their natural stress response is not yet as impaired, and therefore they often only need 1-2 sessions to activate the tremoring mechanism. Children do not feel they have to be in control all the time and so they do not worry about shaking and other physical manifestations of nervous system discharge and experience it as a pleasant release.

Their nervous system is more sensitive than that of adults and therefore their sessions are shorter. For children under 10-11, it is advisable to have a parent present.

TRE® can help children:

- better regulate emotions such as aggression, tearfulness (greater awareness of one's own body and the sensations within will allow the child to recognize early signs of stress and tension and address the problem before it escalates)

- improve sleep (bedwetting, nightmares...)

- to cope better with stress (life milestones - changing schools etc., rehearsals at school, public appearances...)

- helps small athletes to recover and greater awareness of their own body will improve their coordination

- connect with emotions and express them without the need for extensive verbal communication. Smaller children sometimes find it difficult to express feelings verbally. TRE® provides a non-verbal way to express and release tension.

- strengthen family relationships. Sharing mindful activities such as TRE® creates an opportunity for connection, communication, and mutual support within the family unit.

- with chronic problems (asthma, abdominal or headaches..)
