Centre for Life-Long Learning presents Tension Release Exercise workshop, October 5

The Centre for Life-Long Learning at UPEI has partnered with Inverlie Consulting to bring international stress management and trauma expert, Dr. David Berceli to Charlottetown. Dr. Berceli will present a public workshop on Tension Release Exercise at Murphy's Community Centre, Tuesday, October 5 from 10:00 am - 4:30 pm.

The workshop is ideally suited for health professionals including counselors, psychologists, physiotherapists, massage therapists, yoga teachers, emergency and military personnel, fitness and lifestyle coaches, trainers and sports enthusiasts, individuals who work in high stress environments or with clients in high stress environments and members of the general public who want to learn a self-help technique for reducing stress.

Tension Release Exercise (TRE) is a body-centered process that releases deep chronic tension created during stressful or traumatic events. TRE is easily learned, immediately effective, and self-empowering as it can be used by most people without the guidance of a practitioner. TRE has the potential to assist stress-saturated people to reduce their symptoms by teaching them a self-help relaxation tool.

These exercises also have a significant impact on reducing general stress, anxiety, tension, and pain (especially in the low back and pelvis). They are ideal for survivors of extreme trauma, and anyone with chronic stress and tension seeking greater well-being in their lives.

Dr. Berceli has 15 years of experience in the areas of trauma recovery, stress management and conflict resolution. He travels extensively in Europe and the United States, training professionals and offering workshops to the public. He also works with the US and Brazilian armed forces and world governments to assist in alleviating the stress impacts of war, world disasters, and everyday living.
