Here’s the summary from the Personal Success Podcast Host Ryan Watts:
What if your body already knows how to release stress?
In episode #166 of The Personal Success Podcast, Ryan Watts sits down with Richmond Heath, an Australian physiotherapist and TRE trainer, to explore how the body processes stress, trauma, chronic tension, burnout, and nervous system activation. Richmond shares his own journey through chronic pain, high functioning anxiety, and the inability to switch off. As a physiotherapist, he originally understood pain through a biomechanical lens. But over time, he began to see how stress, tension, and unresolved activation were shaping the body from the inside out. This conversation explores TRE, often known as Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises, and how spontaneous shaking and tremoring may help the body release protective stress responses.
Ryan and Richmond discuss:
- Why burnout may begin with the inability to switch off
- How high functioning people can miss the early signs of burnout Why shaking is often misunderstood as weakness or anxiety
- How adrenaline relates to tremoring after stress What nervous system regulation actually means
- Why recovery is essential for sustainable success How the body stores tension outside conscious awareness
- The difference between controlling the nervous system and allowing it to regulate itself
- Why TRE should be approached safely and responsibly How embodied recovery can support performance, parenting, leadership, and personal growth
This episode is for anyone who has felt wired but tired, tense but functional, successful but internally overloaded, or disconnected from the body’s natural signals.
