In this episode, I sit down with Richmond Heath, a pioneer in somatic stress recovery and founder of TRE Australia. Together, they unpack the power of Tension & Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE)—a simple yet profound method that uses your body’s innate shaking reflex to discharge built-up stress and restore nervous-system regulation.
Richmond shares his unexpected journey from physiotherapy and mental-health work to discovering spontaneous movement during a meditation retreat—an experience that transformed his understanding of healing and resilience.
You’ll learn:
What TRE is and how it differs from traditional stress-reduction methods
Why shaking is your body’s built-in reset button for anxiety and tension
How spontaneous movement can support emotional balance, even without mental effort
Practical ways to begin connecting with your own tremor reflex safely
If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the right things but still carrying hidden tension, this conversation offers a completely different doorway to peace—one that starts in the body, not the mind.
Listen now to discover how to let your body lead the way back to calm—and stay tuned for Part 2, where we explore what safety and healing truly feel like inside the body.
