I’m not a mental health or a medical health care professional. What value does the TRE® Certification hold for me?

Amongst those certified are; mothers, community organizers who work with the homeless and high risk teens programs as well as firefighters, disasters workers and volunteers.
The TRE Certification Training program is designed to prepare you to teach TRE competently and safely as a stress relieving technique.

TRE is appreciated and valued by people across the spectrum of society from the homeless to the corporate executive.
Why can’t I start teaching TRE® after reading the book or going to one of the trainings?
Dr. Berceli holds the copyright and trademarks related to TRE®, ensuring its safe and effective practice. Teaching TRE® without proper certification is a violation of trademark and copyright protections.
Additionally, teaching TRE® without full certification can result in inadequate guidance, as it requires specific skills, knowledge, and experience to safely and competently lead others through the process. Certification ensures the highest standards of practice, prioritizing the well-being of those who learn and experience TRE®.
If you sell the books and DVD’s so people can learn on their own, why can’t I start teaching TRE® to others?
If someone purchases the books or DVD and begins exploring TRE® on their own, they may naturally pause or stop if they feel uncomfortable—whether emotionally or physically. However, the dynamic shifts when another person is involved. In this situation, there is a perceived “teacher” and “student” relationship.
The “student,” even if they are a friend or family member, may trust the “teacher” to provide guidance and assume they have the necessary knowledge. Without the full competencies of a Certified TRE® Provider, however, the person acting as a “teacher” is not adequately qualified to guide others through the TRE® process. Certification ensures safe and effective support for anyone learning TRE®.
Do I get any other benefits along with my certification?
