    E25 - TRE & the Nervous System of Leadership with Isabelle Claus Teixeira

    For years, Isabelle Claus Teixeira trained leaders on everything you could put on a slide — competencies, values, communication. But one question kept coming back that no framework could answer: what actually creates executive presence? The search took her out of her own head and into her body, and eventually to a floor in Singapore, tremoring, finally getting the answer she'd been chasing for a career. In this episode, Alex sits down with Isabelle to trace that arc: from a French law student who wanted to be a human rights lawyer, through 27 years as a global HR and leadership-development leader; to the burnout at 34 that first revealed how much her body had been carrying; the day a coach told her "you have to go through the body — try TRE"; her training at the Strozzi Institute and with Dr. David Berceli; and the work she's building now — bringing Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) and nervous system regulation into the corporate world, where she argues that in the age of AI, our regulated, embodied humanity is the only real differentiator left. ⏱ KEY HIGHLIGHTS 0:00 - Welcome & introductions  3:28 - A French girl who never planned to leave home  5:07 - The human rights lawyer she meant to be — and the question that redirected her  9:52 - Hitting the limit of cognitive coaching: "What is presence?"  12:37 - Burnout at 34 — and discovering developmental trauma  16:16 - "You have to go through the body" — first hearing of TRE®  17:47 - The first session and the answer to presence  19:28 - "Safety is a felt sense" — the self-awareness gap  22:55 - The being-versus-doing shift in leadership  25:15 - Holding space and the fulfillment of the organism's tremor  28:31 - An hour of tremoring: the anger practice at the Strozzi Institute  32:30 - Executive presence isn't a skill — it's the nervous system  34:59 - What makes us human in the age of AI 4 4:22 - Selling resilience, not trauma: the language corporate can hear  51:04 - "Presence and Self-Regulation for Coaches": TRE® meets ICF  53:57 - The coaches' burnout epidemic  1:01:12 - A dream of embodied leadership going mainstream  1:12:11 - Closing reflections 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS Connect with Isabelle Claus Teixeira — leadership, somatic and trauma-informed coach, certified TRE® provider and trainer, and co-founder of Business & Human Development Asia, based near Kyoto, Japan: [add Isabelle's primary link before publishing] Also mentioned: Dr. David Berceli (creator of TRE®), Richard Strozzi-Heckler and the Strozzi Institute, Amanda "Mandy" Blake (author of Your Body Is Your Brain), David Treleaven (trauma-informed mindfulness), Jon Kabat-Zinn (MBSR), the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and Isabelle's somatic colleague Simba Stenqvist.

    E24 - Humanitarian Applications of TRE: Disaster Response & Finding Local Champions with Sae Kani

    In 2004, photojournalist Sae Kani was dropped by a US helicopter into Aceh, Indonesia, days after the tsunami erased entire villages. She walked, photographed, interviewed — and felt nothing. It was only back home, diagnosed with PTSD, that she began to understand what disaster leaves in the body. Two decades of humanitarian work later, she is still answering the question that experience planted: why is trauma care the piece disaster response keeps leaving out? In this episode, Alex sits down with Sae to trace that arc: from development studies in London and photojournalism in East Timor and post-tsunami Aceh; through ten years building disaster-preparedness education in Indonesia — including materials for children with disabilities that were showcased at the UN; to discovering Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) in 2012 and recognizing "the missing piece" of her aid work; the decision after the 2015 Nepal earthquake to quit her job, sell everything, and teach at a nun school in Kathmandu; the hard lessons about why quick international responses don't last; and the community facilitator model now bearing fruit in Nepal and Vietnam — where a war veteran's forty-year phantom pain finally released, and his voice reached the government in Hanoi. Sae Kani, also known as Khalida, holds bachelor's and master's degrees in International Development from SOAS, University of London, and spent 13 years working across disaster-affected regions in Asia. She discovered TRE® in 2012 while supporting recovery efforts after the Great East Japan Earthquake, became a certified provider in 2013, and spent a year in Nepal after the 2015 earthquake providing trauma care and training local therapists. Since 2016 she has been the representative of TRE for ALL Japan, and as an internationally certified TRE® trainer she conducts workshops in five Asian countries and works with clients across Europe and the Americas. She lives in Yamanakako Village, Yamanashi Prefecture, at the foot of Mount Fuji. ⏱ KEY HIGHLIGHTS 0:00 - Welcome & introductions  3:24 - A childhood pull toward the world's hardest places 5:34 - Photojournalism: asylum seekers, East Timor & the stories behind the scenes  9:47 - Flying into Aceh after the 2004 tsunami  11:52 - "When I was there, I felt nothing" — coming home with PTSD  14:34 - A careful recovery: rest, meditation & 10,000 photographs  17:50 - The Yogyakarta earthquake & a decade in humanitarian aid  19:43 - Disaster-preparedness education for children with disabilities  27:27 - Discovering TRE®: the missing piece of aid work  28:54 - Aceh ten years later: new buildings, unhealed scars  35:29 - "Joan, we are going there" — the Nepal decision  40:46 - Learning from failure: why quick responses don't stay  41:56 - Jamuna's decade with survivors of trafficking  48:33 - Why standard certification can't reach the grassroots  53:11 - The Vietnam disability project: phantom pain & a trip to Hanoi  1:07:18 - "There is no shortcut" — support, not supervision  1:09:44 - What's next for Sae: subtle body, meditation & couples work  1:14:23 - Closing reflections 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS Connect with Sae Kani — internationally certified TRE® certification trainer based in Yamanashi, Japan, and representative of TRE for ALL Japan: https://www.saekani.com/english Also mentioned: Dr. David Berceli (creator of TRE®), Joan McDonald (TRE® trainer and Sae's partner in the Nepal project), Tsoknyi Rinpoche (whose nun school invited them to Nepal), Jamuna (community facilitator in Nepal), and TRE for All.

    E23 - One World, One Family: 1,000 TRE® Workshops Across Indonesia with Hindra Gunawan

    A betrayed business partner. Five years of anger and sleepless nights. A vow of forgiveness that the mind made but the body refused to keep. That was Hindra Gunawan's life before he found Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®) — and a seven-minute phone call afterward showed him something had changed at a level no amount of willpower had reached. In this episode, Alex sits down with Hindra Gunawan — Indonesia's first TRE provider and now its certification trainer — to trace that arc: from physics teacher to tuition-center entrepreneur; from the betrayal that stole his sleep to the training room in Singapore where sixty people tremored and he didn't; from paying for radio spots he couldn't yet explain to reaching more than 40,000 Indonesians; and from a single vow in Phoenix, Arizona — "TRE must be learned by all Indonesian people" — to celebrating his team's 1,000th workshop with Dr. David Berceli. Along the way: leading Neurogenic Tremoring safely with 600 soldiers at a time, the Shaka Foundation's work with teachers, police, and disaster survivors, the durian farm he planted to fund it all, and the 3 a.m. phone commitment every Indonesian provider makes to their alumni. Hindra Gunawan is a TRE® certification trainer and provider based in Jakarta, Indonesia. A former physics teacher and education entrepreneur, he became Indonesia's first TRE provider in 2013 and has since built one of the most active TRE communities in the world — over 1,000 workshops delivered and more than 40,000 people reached. He leads TRE Indonesia and co-founded the Shaka Foundation with Dr. David Berceli, a not-for-profit bringing TRE to teachers, police, military personnel, and communities affected by natural disasters across Indonesia. ⏱ KEY HIGHLIGHTS 0:00   Welcome & introductions — a decade of inspiration 5:57   The physics teacher whose students wouldn't let him go  7:38   Building a tuition-center business — five branches and a franchise  9:46   The betrayal that brought five years of anger and sleepless nights  10:48   "I said I forgive them — but when I heard their voice, the anger came back"  12:19   Sixty people tremoring in Singapore — and Hindra didn't  13:19   The second training: anger rising from stomach to throat  15:01   The seven-minute phone call that changed everything  16:00   Phoenix, 2013 — "TRE must be learned by all Indonesian people"  20:20   Radio ads he couldn't explain — and 40,000 people later  22:50   The Shaka Foundation: disasters, guardians, and teachers  27:39   A durian farm with a mission  31:05   "Almost every day I get a testimonial" — what Hindra is most proud of  33:40   Why people stop — the wound-washing analogy and lifelong free gatherings  36:46   Leading Neurogenic Tremoring safely with groups of 600  43:57   The 3 a.m. commitment every Indonesian provider makes  49:23   An earthquake, a traumatized boy, and what the tremors made possible  52:31   Tremor stigma in Indonesian culture — "this is very natural"  57:11   "TRE is a gift" — one world, one family 🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS Connect with Hindra Gunawan — TRE® certification trainer in Jakarta, Indonesia, leader of TRE Indonesia and co-founder of the Shaka Foundation. https://www.treindonesia.com/  Also mentioned: Dr. David Berceli (creator of TRE®, co-founder of the Shaka Foundation), Chris Balsley (Hindra's first TRE teacher), TRE Indonesia, and the Shaka Foundation.

    E22 - Neurogenic Tremoring as a Dynamic Superpower for Kids with Vera Live, Špela Potočnik & Katja Jarc

    Most people meet Neurogenic Tremoring through trauma work. This conversation asks a different question: what if kids learned it first — as a built-in resilience skill, before the world ever tells them something is wrong? In this episode, Alex sits down with three women working at the frontier of that idea — Vera Live, Špela Potočnik, and Katja Jarc — to trace how Neurogenic Tremoring is being reframed for youth: why nervous system regulation has been “kept behind the clinical wall”; how Vera co-developed the book Dynamic Superpower: Inner Strength for Kids & Teens with TRE® creator Dr. David Berceli; and how Špela and Katja piloted a school curriculum in Slovenia where five to seven minutes of guided tremoring, twice a week, began changing how teenage students slept, focused, and felt in their own bodies. Along the way: the science stations that teach kids about the vagus nerve and interoception, why a safe relationship matters more than a perfect protocol, and how the body becomes a friend rather than a problem to fix. Vera Live co-founded Dynamic Superpower with Dr. David Berceli to bring the body’s natural tremoring reflex to kids and teens as a proactive resilience tool, not a clinical intervention. A PE teacher, yoga trainer, and certified TRE® provider, she works to equip the adults in children’s lives to pass on nervous system training safely. Find the work at https://www.reflexomobility.org Špela Potočnik is a Slovenian youth counselor, social pedagogue, and school counselor with nearly 20 years in schools, a certified TRE® provider, and one of two pilot developers behind the Slovenia study. She collaborates with the Intigrum Institute and advocates for burnout prevention in schools. Katja Jarc is a primary school teacher, marriage and family therapist, gestalt counselor, arts therapies specialist, and certified TRE® provider — the second Slovenia pilot developer. Through her practice, Manus Katja Jarc, she has integrated body-oriented and dance-movement work for over 13 years, and co-led the 2024 “TRE with Kids” training in Amsterdam with Vera. ⏱ KEY HIGHLIGHTS 0:00 Welcome & introductions 6:04 The problem: regulation “kept behind the clinical wall” 6:42 Giving youth agency: “the body is really your best friend” 8:28 How the name “dynamic superpower” came to be 10:07 Špela on test anxiety, panic attacks, and the missing body piece 14:23 Adapting tremoring for kids — toys, play, and safety 15:52 The book as a manual, not just a story 20:20 Science stations: three brains, the vagus nerve, interoception 22:17 A 10-year-old reads it cold — and tremors on their own 25:51 A mother, a doctor, and her daughter’s aha moment 28:53 Lifting the stigma: “this is your power” 33:53 Inside the Slovenia pilot: how it began 35:20 Five to seven minutes, twice a week 43:14 Špela’s surprise: how little tremoring is enough 45:10 The real key — a safe relationship 50:01 What’s next: educational programs & specialized guides 57:14 Closing reflections: “pay attention, become astonished”🔗 RESOURCES & LINKS Connect with the guests — Reflexive Mobility Academy (Vera Live): https://www.reflexomobility.org · Špela Potočnik: https://www.mojesledi.com · Katja Jarc: practice MANUS.

    E21 - Neurogenic Tremoring As a Catalyst for Meditation, Qigong & Nondual Practice with Jared Dahmer

    Most people come to tremoring looking for relief. Jared came looking for depth. By the time he found Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises (TRE®), he'd spent nearly a decade inside ancient yoga, Daoist Qigong, and nondual meditation — and what he wasn't expecting was that a single video, found mid-session on the floor of his own room, would finally let all of it land in his body. In this episode, Alex sits down with Jared to trace that arc: years of self-study in Qigong and Kriya; the night he searched "how to release trauma" and stumbled onto TRE; and the first three months when, in his words, "everything became felt in my body." Along the way they get into pausing inside a session, the integration that happens lying still afterward, lowering your baseline beneath the polyvagal curve, and the paradox at the heart of his path — nondual teachers say let go of the body, while tremoring keeps inviting him further in. Jared is also leading a guest workshop for the Neurogenic Integration community on Thursday, October 22, 2026 — a chance to experience what brings tremoring alive for him, firsthand. Jared Dahmer is a TRE® provider certified through Red Beard's TRE certification pathway, based in Louisiana, USA. Before TRE, he spent six to seven years in deep self-study of Daoist Qigong — in the lineage of Jonathan White, Michael Winn, and Mantak Chia — alongside ancient yoga, Kriya, and nondual meditation. He teaches both TRE and Qigong and offers one-on-one sessions, exploring tremoring not only as a way to release stress and trauma, but as a catalyst for embodiment and awakening. ⏱ KEY HIGHLIGHTS 0:00   Welcome & introductions 2:00   Starting Qigong in 2020: the search for deeper connection 4:00   An experience at twenty that changed everything 6:00   What is Qigong?

    E20 - Neurogenic Tremoring for Manual Therapists: Bridging Bodywork, Fascia & the Nervous System with Ágnes Katona

    In this episode, Alex sits down with Ágnes Katona — a physiotherapist and manual therapist in Budapest, Hungary — to compare notes on a journey many bodyworkers are quietly making: from working only with tissues, joints, and fascia to recognizing the nervous system as the missing piece. Both Alex and Ágnes were trained in traditions that had no language for what their own bodies started doing on the table. Both rediscovered that "missing link" through their own spontaneous tremoring. And both have spent years working out what it actually looks like to integrate Neurogenic Tremoring into a hands-on treatment session. Their conversation moves through Ágnes's path from physiotherapy into manual therapy and the moment a single client introduced her to TRE; Alex's first spontaneous tremor on a Rolfing table years before he had any language for what it was; two case studies that show what becomes possible when manual therapy and tremoring meet — including a client whose body was so protected it couldn't receive touch at all; and the new science from the 2024 Fascia Research Congress, where Robert Schleip and Stephen Porges took the keynote stage together and showed how fascia and the autonomic nervous system are far more entangled than bodyworkers have been taught. This is also a preview of Neurogenic Tremoring for Manual Therapists & Bodyworkers — a 4-day in-person seminar in Budapest, September 24–27, 2026, taught by Alex Greene and hosted by Ágnes Katona. Romania dates to follow. Ágnes Katona is a physiotherapist, manual therapist, and certified TRE® provider based in Budapest, Hungary. She is the owner of Balanced You Therapy and Learning Hub, where she integrates Neurogenic Tremoring into her clinical work and trains other practitioners to do the same. With a deep curiosity about the connection between the body's tissues and the nervous system, Ágnes has spent years weaving touch and tremoring together in her treatment room.

    E18 - From Pediatric Oncology to TRE for All: A Nurse's Path Into Stewarding a Global Practice with Tanya Beard, MN, BN

    In this episode, Alex sits down with Tanya Beard, MN, BN — Executive Director at TRE for All (TFA), the global nonprofit that has stewarded TRE certification trainings for nearly fifteen years. Tanya comes to this role through a career most people don't take a straight line through: pediatric oncology and bone marrow transplant nursing at twenty-two, ten years as a child and family psychiatric nurse practitioner, service in the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves, consulting with schools and families, and — after the pandemic — a job at her local public library. Underneath all of it was one consistent instinct: bring the body into the room. Walking sessions with teenage clients, yoga, mindfulness, breath. Then a single optional after-hours class introduced her to TRE, and the trajectory bent again. Tanya Beard, MN, BN, is the Executive Director at TRE for All (TFA), the global nonprofit overseeing TRE® certification trainings worldwide.
