Saint Louis Stress Release

Are you ready to release?

Stress. Tension. Trauma.

Over the years we take on more and more, yet most of us have never really learned how to let it go. So it accumulates in our bodies as constriction or tightness, feeling emotionally stuck or closed off or unfulfilled, and even as physical symptoms like headaches or an inability to sleep well or worse.

Wouldn't it be a relief to let it go?

EFT and TRE provide different yet complementary ways to release stored emotional baggage, undischarged tension, and unresolved trauma from your body, so you can move forward in your life with more freedom, more clarity, and more ease. It's like you've been holding your breath for years and can finally exhale.

Learn more about what EFT and TRE can do for you

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) and Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE) were both created to help you heal yourself by releasing the stress, tension, and trauma stored in your body so you can return to a state of balance. Both modalities have been used around the world to help first responders, veterans, and refugees, and survivors of natural disasters, wars, and accidents recover from serious traumas.

They're also used to help "regular" people get relief from whatever they've taken on through life experiences - emotions and experiences and beliefs that they have likely been carrying for far too long.

Take a look at what these two simple yet powerful approaches to self-healing can do for you, because everyone deserves to know what it's like to feel at home with yourself.

Learn about EFT

EFT stands for Emotional Freedom Techniques. Also called Tapping, EFT is like emotional acupuncture. It combines ancient Chinese meridian therapy (the basis for acupuncture and acupressure) with modern understanding about the brain to produce powerful results - often quite quickly.

EFT involves feeling into a problem (an emotion, a physical symptom, a limiting belief) while using your fingers to tap on specific acupressure points on the head, face, and torso.

While it can look strange at first, you'll soon forget that as you may experience a lifting of burdens - whether troubling memories, physical symptoms (including pain), limiting beliefs about yourself, or fears of the future - that may have been weighing you down for decades.

Indeed, EFT sometimes works so well at eliminating physical symptoms or the emotional charge around memories or beliefs that people sometimes forget what it was they were bothered by.

Numerous published, peer-reviewed studies now show that EFT is effective at reducing anxiety, disrupting danger signals from our brains, lowering stress hormones like cortisol, and even turning on protective gene expression while turning off genes that are associated with disease.

Why not try it for yourself? Whether you've got health, relationship, career, or money problems, EFT can help. Learn more here.

Learn about TRE

TRE stands for Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises. Developed by Dr. David Berceli, TRE allows you to initiate an innate healing mechanism that we share with other mammals - tremoring.

When we go through experiences that are upsetting or traumatic (really, anything that causes our brain to believe that we're unsafe), our bodies instinctively do what's necessary to protect us. That means triggering our fight, flight, or freeze response. Unfortunately, we don't often allow ourselves to release that survival response once the stressful event is over. So we stay tense and constricted and forget what it feels like to truly relax.

And the more often that stress response gets triggered, the easier it is for it to happen again, and for our bodies to get stuck in the "on" position (or sometimes with the "gas" and the "break" on at the same time). Think about how much energy it takes to sustain that level of vigilance.

TRE gives the body a chance to discharge all that stored survival stress without needing to talk about or even remember what happened.

You'll learn a series of seven simple exercises that tire and stretch specific muscles, culminating in an experience of shaking or vibrating that calms the nervous systems and releases tension in the muscles and fascia and that most people find pleasant and rejuvenating and some even find to be spiritual.

TRE is one of those things you have to try in order to 'get' it. Learn more here.
