Description

Can your body shake off trauma? Retired FDNY Captain Rob Cefoli returns to dive deep into the science and power of Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)—and how tremoring can help firefighters heal.

In this episode, we explore:

  • How TRE taps into the body’s natural stress-release system
  • The physical and emotional toll of the job
  • Why “shaking” isn’t weakness—it’s recovery
  • Teaching TRE to recruits, veterans, and skeptical crews
  • How firefighters can reconnect with their emotions and improve long-term health

Whether you're new to TRE or ready to go deeper, this episode gives you real tools to feel better, move better, and stay in the fight longer.
