Healing Through TRE: Ericka Thomas on Managing Parental Trauma
“When you're experiencing all of this stress in your life, when you don't do anything with it, if you ignore it or you just say I don't have time to deal with this right now, I'm going to. When this current crisis is over, it does go into your body.”
When your child is battling substance misuse, the stress and trauma you experience can be overwhelming. Brenda Zane, host of 'Hopestream for Parenting Kids Through Drug Use and Addiction', invites Ericka Thomas, founder of Elemental Kinetics, to discuss how parents can find relief through Trauma Release Exercise (TRE). This episode dives into the physical toll that long-term stress can take on your body, from poor sleep to gut health issues.
Ericka shares her personal journey with trauma and explains how TRE offers a unique approach to releasing built-up tension. Unlike other stress-relief methods, TRE focuses on physical exercises that help the body naturally release stress and trauma. Brenda and Ericka also touch on how to incorporate these exercises into your daily routine, making it easier for parents to find a path to healing amidst the chaos.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, or just feeling worn out, this episode provides practical advice and hope for a healthier future.
