I am a semi-retired Occupational Therapist with a small caseload of pediatric clients. My first career was actually as a public school teacher sometime in the last century. I became captivated by TRE when it was presented in an OT workshop which focused on trauma and sensory processing disorder, I became a Certified TRE Provider soon after. As I practice TRE, I find that the combination of OT, particularly Sensory Processing Disorder, to be an interesting and useful combination. I have used my new kwledge about trauma and TRE in treating some very young children in OT. The groups of individuals I come into contact with who can benefit from TRE is ermous. I think first of the parents of developmentally delayed children and often the children themselves. I have studied addiction and find that traumatic events are the precursors for initiating drinking alcohol and experiencing active addiction creates trauma and stress. I have Parkinson's Disease and TRE is very helpful.
