March 21 26: TRE
Robert opens the Fellow Traveler podcast by explaining Call2Parent as an ACA-based community focused on healing childhood developmental trauma through body-based and neurobiological practices. He then introduces somatic therapist Alex Greene of Red Beard Somatic Therapy, who shares his own history of developmental trauma, Zen monastic training, and early experiences with spontaneous tremoring during Rolfing that eventually led him to TRE. Alex explains TRE as a body-based method developed by Dr. David Berceli after observing that both humans and animals naturally shake after threat, suggesting tremoring may help complete stress responses and restore regulation. He connects this to trauma theory, polyvagal concepts, and bottom-up healing, then guides listeners through a live TRE practice with careful emphasis on safety, pacing, and self-regulation. In the Q&A, participants describe reactions ranging from relaxation and euphoria to grief, discomfort, and vocal release, while Alex addresses questions about consistency, contraindications, restless leg syndrome, trauma discharge, and how TRE may support resilience, nervous system regulation, and long-term healing.
