TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises ®️) has been absolutely amazing for me as a parent. I can show up for my kids as a calm regulated anchor for them to co-regulate with when life throws us a curve ball.

If you are curious about this method and how it might improve your family dynamics, drop me an email for a chat.

We go into parenting thinking the entire job is about managing the person in front of us. We worry about schedules, routines, and how to handle the next developmental stage, entirely unprepared for the massive internal excavation that happens the second the house gets loud.

The reality is that children have a way of walking straight past our defenses and stepping directly onto our oldest, most sensitive wounds.

When a child throws a massive tantrum, refuses to listen, or pushes a boundary, the blinding frustration we feel is rarely just about their behavior. It is about what that behavior triggers inside of us. It forces us to confront our own relationship with control, our deep discomfort with messy emotions, and the automatic coping strategies we built decades ago just to survive our own childhoods.

It is incredibly lonely to realize that while you are trying to soothe an upset child, you are also trying to soothe the unhealed chapters within your own skin.

This is where the real backbone of parenting is built. It is choosing to stay steady and hold the room when everything inside you wants to scream or shut down.

When we lower our own heart rate, drop our shoulders, and offer them a predictable climate of warmth, we aren't just giving them a secure foundation. We are finally bringing internal stillness to the parts of ourselves that went unchecked for far too long. ❤️

What can we do when our nervous system seems to feel more comfortable with familiar chaos and we resist or struggle with unfamiliar calm?

Some of the ways that familiar chaos shows up in our day to day lives might look like....

- over working
- feeling guilty about resting
- always needing to feel 'useful'
- taking on a fixer role in other people's life stresses whilst avoiding your own issues or involving yourself in other people's conflict situations
- engaging in relationships that lack reciprocity or where you feel undervalued (people pleasing)
- self medicating with harmful substances
- constant doom scrolling and engagement in upsetting news stories/articles.

These are just a few examples, some may resonate with you and some might not. Feel free to share your own thoughts on this in the comments.

To recognise that we may be seeking familiar chaos, we need to gently learn what it feels like to take a pause, to slow down and to develop some self awareness in those quieter moments.

The key is in the noticing but this can be especially difficult for people who struggle with interoception and emotional regulation due to neurodivergence or PTSD.

TRE (Tension and Trauma Release Exercises ®️) is an amazing self regulation tool that will, over time and practice, allow you to experience a more comfortable calm when you need to.

The pre shake grounding, the TRE exercises, working to a scale to connect to sensations in the body and then experiencing and integrating a 'shake' are all part of the process of developing awareness and knowing when and how to put the breaks on when needed.

If you are curious about this method and would like to find out more then feel free to email me for a chat about how TRE can help you.

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.

Our kids will trigger old wounds that we may not have realised are there.

TRE is an amazing self regulation tool that will allow you to process past experiences and help you move forward and parent with a fresh perspective.

Parenting is an incredibly difficult job. ❤️

Nobody warned me how much of parenting would end up being about me and my old stuff. 😩

Back then I was convinced the problem was the arguing and the pushback and the same fights showing up over and over. So that's what I focused on...spending so much energy trying to get my kids to behave "better."

What I didn't realize was I was bringing my baggage to all of it...What I thought kids were supposed to do. What I thought I was supposed to do as their parent. All the pressure I put on myself to somehow get it right.

It took me a long time to see any of that. Back then, all I focused on was the behavior because I was just trying to get through the moment.

Now, when one of my kids does something that sets me off, I try my best to get curious before I react. Not always. Not perfectly. But more than I used to.

Not because my kids are never the issue. Sometimes they are.

Just because there's usually more going on than I can see when I'm in it.

Let me know if this is something you can relate to and save this post for a hard moment.

Keep going...You've got this! 💛
