(In addition, the following pledge is for ALL those attending module 1 of the TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) Global Certification Training program. www.traumaprevention.com)

Agreement of Understanding with TRE®, LLC (January 2015)

There are three groups of people attending the Module 1 TRE Training (Module 1) :

1. PERSONAL USE: Those who are attending to learn TRE for their own personal use and have no intention of teaching others and therefore no interest in continuing on with TRE Certification.
2. NOT SURE: Those who will decide about certification after the completion of this module.
3. CERTIFY PROCESS TO TEACH TRE: Those who intend to teach others TRE and therefore will continue on to become a Certified TRE Provider.

No matter which group you fall into your agreement is required to participate in this certification training.

PERSONAL USE: You will learn about your own self-regulation needs and will most likely be able to continue on with a successful personal practice of TRE that will support your health and healing for the remainder of your life.

NOT SURE: Please read this pledge carefully. At any point you become interested in teaching others TRE you will need to become a fully Certified TRE Provider. You will need to enroll in the certification program as you do not have the competency to teach others TRE following an initial training. You must successfully complete the entire certification program to develop the needed skills and competencies to teach TRE to others.

CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR TEACHING TRE

Please know:

• You are not to practice-teach TRE beyond the guidelines given to you by your TRE Certification Trainer.
• It is imperative that you go through all the training steps to develop the skills and knowledge to competently teach TRE to the general public. This is true even if you have other skills and experience that you see as closely related to TRE.
• You are enrolling in the TRE certification program to learn this unique technique. We ask that you give yourself the opportunity to learn what TRE alone can do to promote health and healing for yourself and others.
• Through certification you will develop the competency and skills needed to teach TRE.
• Teaching TRE professionally to individuals and/or groups without full TRE certification is a violation of copyright and can be considered malpractice.

TRE, LLC RECOMMENDATIONS:

• Individuals who are participating in any exercise program consult their physician or appropriate health-care providers prior to beginning any new exercise program including TRE.
• Individuals who have the following conditions or concerns consult their health-care or mental health professionals prior to performing these exercises:

○ Physical or psychological conditions that require attention and/or regulation care

○ Fragile psychological defenses for which you need ongoing professional psychological support and/or medication

○ Complex history of trauma

○ Restricting physical or medical limitations:

• Individuals with specific conditions and/or concerns seek out a Certified TRE Provider with expertise in the area of your concern.

• Individuals under the care of a medical professional consult with that professional prior to making any changes to their treatment plan.

I understand and agree to take personal responsibility for the above recommendations from TRE, LLC

4. I understand and agree to the following:

• I will take full responsibility for my own well-being.
• I accept full responsibility to work within comfortable limits of my body’s abilities and educate myself concerning self-regulation.
• I assume and accept the risk of any adverse outcome from the practice of TRE.
• I release my right to hold TRE LLC from complete legal, financial and medical liability associated with the practice of TRE.
• I am voluntarily participating in a workshop and practicing these exercises on my own volition.

5. I understand:

• I understand TRE is a technique based on the body’s natural response for releasing tension and stress. TRE was developed as a self-help technique. However, it has increasingly been seen as a valuable complementary practice that can be integrated with traditional treatment modalities when used by mental health and health-care professionals.
• TRE has not been evaluated by the USA Food & Drug Administration or the American Medical Association therefore we must provide the following information:

○ TRE is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

○ Medical advice must only be obtained from a physician or qualified health practitioner.

○ Results may vary between individuals.

○ There are no guarantees, expressed, or implied.

○ The TRE process should not be used as a substitute for trauma recovery procedures of a medical or psychological nature.

6. If I teach these exercises to others:

• I accept full liability for any claim, suit or proceeding brought against me by another individual as a result of any TRE presentations, classes and/or groups I provide; thereby, releasing TRE, LLC from complete legal, financial and medical liability that may be incurred.
• I will practice-teach (for no fee) within the guidelines and limits set up by my TRE Certification Trainer to meet my certification requirements.
• I will only teach TRE for a fee (or any monetary exchange) once fully certified as a Certified TRE Provider. (Some exceptions may be granted for salaried persons working within an agency.)
• I understand that TRE, LLC advises I continue improving my TRE practice skills through TRE consultation and/or ongoing skill development training offered through TRE, LLC and independent Certification Trainers (i.e: Advanced Practice).
• I understand that the TRE process and TRE itself as a neutral technique and modality. It is not aligned with any spiritual belief system or with any other therapeutic modality. I understand the need to keep TRE separate from any belief system or particular therapeutic modality in my clinical practice, verbal communications and/or written publications of any kind.
• Once certified, if there is an ethical complaint against me, I agree to:

○ Cooperate with the TRE, LLC Ethics Board to assist in a truthful and accurate determination of the complaint.

○ Abide by any recommendations and/or determinations issued by the TRE, LLC Ethics Board.

○ I understand that in some situations a valid ethical complaint could be grounds for forfeiting my Certified TRE Provider status.

○ I understand that my not cooperating with and/or not following recommendations of the TRE Ethics Board could be grounds for forfeiting my Certified TRE Provider status.

NOTE: The intention of the TRE Ethics Board is to uphold standards within the TRE community and to provide guidance and education. Asking a Certified Provider to forfeit their certification would only happen in situations where corrective actions or steps were not possible.

7. I understand becoming a Certified TRE Provider certifies me to:

• Teach the TRE process to individuals and groups.
• Support the participant in understanding their TRE experience.
• I am certified to integrate TRE into other stress related workshops and trainings I teach or promote.
• Teach a brief history and an introduction of the stress response as it relates to TRE.
• Teach TRE self-regulation and modification techniques as needed, as long as I work within my professional “scope of practice” knowledge and skills.
• Assess whether or not TRE can be used as a self-help technique for any particular person.
• Present TRE with the focus being on teaching and empowering the individual to be able to use TRE as a self-help technique to promote lifelong health and healing.
• Integrate TRE as a complementary practice, into other treatment modalities for my professional practice. But always keeping boundaries between the modalities, distinguishing what is TRE vs. what is not TRE, when teaching.

I understand that I will NOT be certified to:

• Formally or professionally teach the theory of TRE as presented in the 6 days of certification training.
• Train OR certify OR give another person permission to teach TRE to others. Additionally:
