Introduction

The HR Department of one of the largest companies in its industry, in the globe, realized the stressful impact of Lockdown on their employees in Africa, and how it was affecting their wellness, wellbeing and performance. They engaged the services of Stress Free with TRE to facilitate 20 employees, some HR Managers. The participants were divided into two group workshops of 10 employees each.

1. Our Flagship Method: TRE (Tension/Trauma Release Exercises/Experience) Workshop which consists of 6 weekly sessions, each 1hr 15 min long.

TRE is a self-help empowering tool to get rid of stress and trauma from deep cellular memory where it is stored; and it is a self-help, empowering tool, for life, to mitigate future stress and trauma – always bringing the mind body complex back to balance and boosting one’s immunity, so all body functioning is optimal.

2. De-Stress Tool: 1 x Workshop of 1 hour 15 min

  • Abdominal Breath Work
  • Tapping (EFT – Emotional Freedom Technique)
  • Creative Visualization 

These workshops were highly interactive, with feedback during the sessions and time for questions, and they did have the opportunity to contact the trainer or support.

During the TRE Workshop, they were encouraged, after the 3rd session to try the practice of TRE at home.

Accountability Group

We set up an Accountability WhatsApp Group, so that employees could motivate and challenge the team to practice TRE at home after the 3rd session. They were able to share their experiences and ask general questions, and private questions were emailed to the trainer.

Given the increase in mental health challenges due to Lockdown, these two workshops met the company mandate and achieved outstanding results. Here is a brief summary.

  1. The employees felt calmer and more relaxed
  2. Many slept better
  3. Better copying skills, better work performance
  4. Boosted the immune system and ailments improved.
  5. Feeling happier and less angry, fearful, irritable and reactive etc.

Please refer to the Client Feedback Survey below which details the results and benefits.

  10. Unfortunately, I could only attend 4 of the 6 sessions but definitely felt I got the full experience of TRE. Thank you for all your guidance over the weeks
  11. I am feeling calm and I realized and, now know, how to read my body’s needs. I am able to handle the daily stress more and I am not getting overwhelmed anymore.

  13. Awesome sessions. A good trainer coupled with a great team is all I needed, and this was great!
  14. It is worth the one hour and looking forward to next session
  15. Good experience for the brain as well as the body.

  17. Realizing the importance of taking the time out (even if only an hour a week) to stretch, calm my mind, and just do something totally for myself
  18. Generally, I have felt less anxious and more positive
  19. Better awareness of my physical self and giving my body the rest and respect it needs to support my mental state (connection between body and mind).
  20. I have enjoyed the calm “Zen” feeling after completing a session… and feeling tired in a good way (relaxed sleepiness)
  21. Although I do feel like it came at the right time in my life as I have been dealing with a lot of change in personal and work life… and I am not typically so great with ‘change’.. So, the TRE sessions have been a great time for me to step away from the usual day-to-day and do something different, fun, and relaxing. I have really enjoyed the experience.
  22. I attended one session. My schedule did not allow me the time to attend any more sessions. I could feel the benefits after one session and I would like to take it up again when my schedule affords me the opportunity to do so.
  23. I really enjoyed the process
  24. I feel so privileged for the company to have allowed me do these sessions.
  25. I thoroughly enjoyed the sessions and thank you for embracing our joys.
